How to: Close your trunk without fingerprints, a mod, or any items

[phrenetiK]

I know there have been many mentions of this as well as a few threads discussing options....well today common sense hit me when I was closing my freshly washed trunk.

No rags, hanging nylon, elbows, or anything needed ...just a few fingers.

I've been closing mine like that from day one. I bowl in a league two nights every week and tournaments on the weekend. I open and close my trunk a lot.

I just grab the tip of my spoiler.

i do this too lol

One few too many pressures on that clasp cover and you will crack it.

I'm sure the weight of that spoiler makes it easier for you. Mine needs a good slam to close.

I tried that one time and pulled the latch cover off......

I shoot in two pool leagues during the week, always in & out of my trunk, doing errands also several times a week keeps me opening the trunk.

Don't use the escape latch-->:frusty:

I've tried this before and with no spoiler the trunk won't move with this method for me. I'm sure the weight of the spoiler helps a lot.

I just use my palm instead of fingers; problem solved.

palms leave prints too

palms leave prints too

They're nowhere near as visible since your palm won't have nearly as much dirt, grime, and oil.

I should probably clarify that I was talking about the very bottom of your palm right near the wrist

Does anyone else find the S550 trunk lid as odd as I do? I'm used to the huge, intrusive hinges that American cars always had (that would smash things that got in the way). Thus lift strut business is just weird...it's like a hatchback with steel instead of glass ;)

P.S. how much weight would it save if a manufacturer were to produce a new trunk lid in carbon fiber? Seems like an ideal panel for it, not really part of the vehicle's collision protection...
