Guys,

When I briefly had an IS200 without a rear spoiler, the bootlid would always open unassisted when I pressed the button on the remote. However after moving to my IS300, the boot simply 'unlocks' now when I press the button. I assumed that this was because of the extra weight of the spoiler?

Is this the case, and is there anything in the mechanics of the boot that can be adjusted to make it spring open?

Cheers

Ah yeah, come to think about it I did see that thread. Will check back in to see if there's been any movement since then.

It's to do with the springs that open the boot weakening over time I think...

But yeah, I'm watching the group buy for the "bootlid viagra" Smile

Bah. I've not really looked at the mechanism, but maybe I just need some new springs or something :bored:
