Hi guys had an issue since I bought the car, finally getting around to fixing all the niggling things.

I can open the boot with the key.

I can pull the lever and someone else open the boot/ wedge something under the lever.

I just need the boot to pop up a little bit so the latch doesn't go back in.

Is there any sort of adjustment to the boot spring or anything.

I've tried searching for some info but can't find much, mostly just the valet latch issue.

Weight of the wing. :/

They don't pop up too well at the best of times.

Worse over age.

A few solutions. Wingless, a CF painted wing, a 34 wing

Increase the height of the 2 rubber bung thingys and just force it closed. (so it pops up a bit more and doesn't relatch itself.

Could try some method of strengthened bars at the very back of the boot.

Ps. never put your head in when you look for something and let go of the boot

So I got it to just pop a bee's dick. But it works.

I adjusted the latch on the boot lid all the way up and the striker in the bottom all the way down.

There isn't any adjustment on the rubber stoppers but I might try and get slightly longer ones will give it a bit more spring.thanks for the suggestions sinister

no worries, comes from experience.

I did what you described way back when.

Since then

I have a 34 wing on my 32 now, looks great and works a treat.

also a wingless boot that jets up so quick I have pull the release -dive towards the back to put my hand out to stop it. lol
