Hi,
This weekend I was pondering the remote release on my bootlid. Small third button on the remote unlocks and uncatches the boot for easy access.
The background to this is that my previous car (Pug 607) had a remote powered boot which was awesome! Imagine walking up with bags of shopping and the boot opens up wide via remote.
Now I got thinking that since the Stilo uncatches the boot lid when you press the release button, is there perhaps a way to power or spring load it to open up properly?
A neat solution would be coil springs on the dampers but I think they'd have to be very powerful to work given their angle of leverage.
Other alternatives maybe a spring somewhere else or a spring loaded strip.
Interesting project or duff?
Cheers
