should eject up and knock any passers by out

Just pops up a small but,

you can try talcing the seals if you want it to pop up fully, or try a new spring.

Or alternatively fit a strut to it to open.

theres various topics. (search "boot lid viagra")

my opens as if it wants to lift off into space :o well maybe not that bad but i rather it open slowly and gradually any ways on doing this?

[Rory]

crazy fool, i thought people only complained cos it didn't open enough, don't take it for granted lol

[LOcKY]

i dont like the thump when it reaches the top :( im sure it hurts the car.... kinda like doors.. i dont like it when people open the door to the full extent grrrr makes me paranoid that its going to snap off the door hinges

[Rory]

O, understood, could try a heavy spoiler...

or some other weight on the inside of the bootlid for example, unless its easy to change springs/struts as previously mentioned?

my boot sometime open fully and sometime just a liltte bit

[abbott]

mine only opens a little bit , ill imagine even less with the spoiler when it gets fitted ..

[edeath]

mine seems to not open at all (but you can still open it with your hand ie not locked) the first time i pop it. Then if i pop it again later it opens about quarter way. I think Stavs Talc hint might help though.

Isn't the spring tension adjustable on the IS a bit? Seem to recall 3 positions for the tension, maybe it could be turned down a bit if it is too strong.

See here for the thread that discusses fitting a strut for the boot lid.

Mine just pops up slightly which I prefer as I think if it flies up too fast it can't do the springs or boot lid much good.

I had to take the spoiler of to repaint and then the thing flew right open but it was too fast in my opinion.

is there a adjuster for the boot as i think mine needs adjusting
