Hey, Bob! Since somebody just asked about this today, how has the spring held up since you made this modification?

[Chupaca]

for the video and explanation. This has been asked a lot just one question...how did you get it on ?? coiled it or does the tip come off to slide it on...

[finless]

Still working fine... I did take it off once and re-stretch it... If you can get a stiffer one all the better.

Chupa... you remove the shock and then yes you coil it on. The end does not come off.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for another useful tip!
Question: at what point of adding lights and accessories to the lid, does this become an issue. I'm considering adding the HMT: is that the "tipping point"?

I added the BRP internal trunk lid zip bag and the HMT light. I do not keep a lot of stuff in the internal lid zip bag... My 2 remotes for my alarm, 4 AAA batteries, and 2 USB cords. Just that caused my lid not to stay up.

Thanks! I should be okay, with just the HMT...
