Shame

Yeah don't think Rob even has a bravo anymore either

A nicer solution wold be to add a linear actuator so it opened and closed in a controlled manner. A little more engineering would be required though.

Yes, way too much risk of smacking the boot lid on the roof of a multi story car park for example. Not surprised it died a death.

Rob got it running fine. He replaced gas struts and removed wiper motor so it worked everything even in the cold. But of course it meant that if he ever pressed boot button it would swing open. He loved it and if you're careful it could be very helpful I bet. But the cost for new struts and springs for the pop mechanism is quite high just to have your boot swing open on its own. But it's not dead. So to speak as it worked fine it's just the original owner that did this no longer has the car.
