R34 Boot Lid

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

Hey,

A while ago my boot lid open leaver in the car stopped working.. the boot still opens with the key, and when open. when leaver is pulled, the latch still moves and functions corretly...

Im assuming the gas struts might be worn out, which is causing the weight of the boot to cause it to stop opening but its getting annoying..

any ideas??

cheers

may be the weight of wing.. do you have wing on your boot?

i have similar problem

when i open the boot with lever next to the driver seat and got out of car and close the door, the boot lock itself...

when you open the boot it doesnt pop up because weight of wing. one i detached the wing and tried, the boot pops up..

i was thinking buy a new strong gas strut and reinstall them but i thought it is useless... anyway.. all im doing is open up the boot

with lever and open the boot before i close the front door... so may be it is very funny if someone look at me lol

close the front door and same time i ran to the side of car and grap a wing and open up the boot..

but if your lever doesnt work... maybe the connection between lever to boot opener...

cheers

yeah i figured it was the wing with the weight, and the gas struts getting old.. is there a place to get them re conditioned or a place to buy new ones??

as cable is working fine

had the same problem when i got my boot enclosure done. My dad played around with the latch in the boot clicking it in out and making sure it was all in line properly and it works fine now... play round with the latch first...

i have the same problem as well.. one person has to pull the latch while another lift the boot up at the same time.. otherwise use a key to open it.. never used to be like that..

i'm assuming it's worn out gas struts.. oh.. and i got a wing on it as well..
