Wife's Solution to the Rear Trunk Piston

[Tango]

I asked my wife for an extra pair of hands to remove the rear trunk piston on our 2020 RTL. She asked why are we taking the piston out? opcorn: When I told her what I wanted to do. She replied," hold on", "I have an idea". :hun: She went to the back of the garage and came back with a piece of pipe insulation and cut it to fit. :firstplace: I'll be damned if it didn't work great! :banghead: She didn't have to cook dinner last night. :bowdown: Tom :spyder:

It's a great idea, just don't forget to take it out before you try to close it, the cheap hinge may not take to kindly to having that lump in the way.hyea:

I am lucky to be just the right height to hold the trunk open with my head. After all, in my Basic Rider Course, they told me to always use my head.

Nice. A small rubber door stopper works fine too. Replaced the faulty original strut with a better one from Slingmods.
