AUTOMATIC BOOT OPENING
AUTOMATIC BOOT OPENING
Has Anyone figure out how some people have made thier boots open from their key. Been searching the internet and still cant find anything on it and dont have the money to start buying stuff and testing if it works or not.

Hmmm ... Not sure. Will watch for for answers though.
Re: AUTOMATIC BOOT OPENING
Thank! I was looking at mk6 golf struts thought they would have more power with the boot (im assuming) being heavier than the polo's

Re: AUTOMATIC BOOT OPENING
Would have thought its more than powerful struts otherwise they wouldnt be easy to close?
I have a power boot on my Chrysler and it has motors to take it up and down.
I am speculating though - I am sure someone knowledgeable will come along shortly.
I would like this mod though ...

Re: AUTOMATIC BOOT OPENING
You need different struts along with slightly longer strut balls. this alters the geometry of the gas struts, in turn automatically opening your boot when you hold down the trunk button on your remote.
Re: AUTOMATIC BOOT OPENING
I think you also need to put the car on vcds to re-configure the rear boot lock. As when you pop the boot with the key it dosn't fully release! Try popping it and lift it open with the lower edge of the gate. I would love this on mine.
I think you need scirocco boot poppers the little black things in the corners of the boot opening, seat struts not sure on model?

Re: AUTOMATIC BOOT OPENING
When i pop my boot and pull up it releases fine so that isnt a problem. I heard toledo struts worked but when i looked them they are shorter than the originals just need to figure out the model. If i hear anything or figure it out i will let you know.
Re: AUTOMATIC BOOT OPENING
Want to do mine as it is really hand when you have your hands full.
Re: AUTOMATIC BOOT OPENING
Your a handy man with a conputer thats a great help. I was right about the toledo struts just need them and scirocco puffers cheers mate
Re: AUTOMATIC BOOT OPENING
If you press and hold the button, instead of just unlocking, it unlatches the hatch. If you have the correct required geometry of the struts and strut balls, it will automatically open, otherwise the secondary stage of the latch will re-engage as the motor spins back.
The little black things aren't poppers, they just hold the boot at it's desired position at rest. Trust me, I know the hard way that they don't actually compress or provide pop.........
