Electronic trunk closer?

[Kenny Pollock 10+ year member]

My car is black... and I open my trunk often. Closing a black trunk leaves behind TONS of fingerprints. I was thinking of buying something or somehow constructing an electronic trunk closer, where I can press a button inside to pull the trunk closed. Something like the new Mercedes have...

Any solutions?

I'd go for the gloves, make them leather and wear a trench coat.

There must be such a thing.

My sister's Caddy closes the trunklid on its own after you close it most of the way.....it moves it to completely shut position on its own.

linear actuator. its a huge thing here in texas. we do at least 6 a month at the shop. here>http://www.firgelliauto.com/default.php?cPath=68 one for each side and switch should run you about 225-300

you mean you want a "pop-trunk" kit playboy

its a small hydrolic that mounts to one of the trunk arms and opens and closes the trunk with a push of a botton, or a swich, like what your windows have (push up, trunk goes up. push down, trunk goes down)

there was a huge thread about this,a lot of people flamed at the idea. i think its a great addition for this reason only. but people here in tx do it to be "cool" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nerd.gif.c6fa51ddf7ff75f1c0371fbc648f70ae.gif

stock sucks. my hatch struts are shot on my 89 maro so instead of buying new ones, im opting for linear acuators. you should go for the ricer flip flop lid and actuators.
