I am having problems with this mod as well, i have a mk6 camera and i didnt even think about the extra weight issue in comparison to the old mk5 badge,,,, is it really that much heavier ???
When i fitted the pop it was useless but i forgot to add grease, when i done this it did help but i can only get to pop open whilst facing uphill.
Tried on the flat and it very nearly gets there but never quite makes it.
Quite an embarrassing mod if i cant figure out how to get it better,
one thing that is playing on my mind is the stoppers, i followed the guide on the ecs tuning web site on fitment and paid particular interest on fully compressing the stoppers.
On the video it says to use an allen key and turn the stopper anti clockwise until it stops, then push the stopper in before turning clockwise until again it stops - then job done.
My problem is when i turned it anti clockwise it just turned forever and was very loose, also when turning it clockwise it would tighten up but the turning never came to a stop and would turn indefinatelly ??? am i doing something wrong here.
Because of this im thinking the poppers may be faulty and i AM NOT getting the full compression out of them which may be causing the problem with the boot not opening unless facing uphill.
Can anyone else please comment on this problem i had with the allen key turning and have i done something wrong here ?
Im thinking maybe i should just get a new pair of stoppers,,,,, they still appear to be compressing ok but no way of telling if they are at the max setting for max pop.
One other thing, if this problem is common with people having a camera fitted is there a bigger set of stoppers out there that would have a larger compression so to give a more forcefull POP ??? if so maybe this would solve the problem.
Sorry for the long winded explanation but i really would like to be able to fix this
