frunk spring trick?

[ARCTIC]

I remember seeing several threads about putting a spring in to pop open the frunk but cannot locate any of them right now. Anybody help me out?

I still think this is the easiest and best looking fix! Cut, bend and drop in place.

I tried it and then went the other way with the #155 spring. My concern was the trunk peg/post (for lack of a better word) would eventually work its way intro the spring. The other way is just as easy. As for best looking, that is in the eye of the beholder.


Arctic,

I got ahead of myself ; I thought we were talking about this thread:

Also, like Scotty mentioned in the above link, BRP sells their own spring set up; I believe for the GS/RS. I think someone mentioned in the 2012 models RS the spring was there.

My 2012 and my friends 2011 RS's both have them stock.
The OEM part # is 705003911 and cost about $3

Thanks drew! I'll order one with my next oil change kit. That way I don't have to wander around a hardware store looking for a spring:2thumbs:

I think I spent about 50 cents on a spring and its been working fine for a couple of years.

I agree completely. I'm a cheap ass most of the time but I ain't gonna spend any time looking for a spring to save a few bucks
