Where can I get a good pull down strap for my trunk as mine finally broke

Finally broke? Mustangs don't come with any strap at all, so please elaborate . Did you install something that broke? I remember reading a thread about installing a Hyundai grab strap, but haven't seen it in a while. You might want to search for it... if that's not the one you had. And post a photo of your broken one, to see what you're talking about . Thank you.

I assume you're talking about the yellow plastic clip as the one that is broken... In that case - it is not a pull strap and probably why it is broken - it is an emergency release for the trunk lock so you canopen it form inside

About the good pull down strap - take a look at this topic in DIY! Pretty easy and looks pretty good too

I am not talking about the emergency release. I had a strap to pull the trunk down

I stand corrected then I've just seen some say they've used it as a pull strap. I can still recommend the thread though!

How did you make yours? and for how long did it last?

I bought it from someone from this forum and it lasted around three yrs. I did look at the one you suggested and decided to order one. I'm not going to use the bolt setup, I think I'll try using a push pin.
Thanks for the info !!

How about a leather belt cut to size, plastic push pin ain't gonna last

I used a push pin on this one and was still holding fine. It was the grommet that tore away so still will try

Yeah, the folks selling them a few years back are all gone. I went looking for one myself when I went for the Steeda struts.

I used a push pin as well with the Hyundai strap. My set up is post #13 in the link posted above. I have had zero issues.

Hardware, craft and hobby stores all sell kits to install a new grommet. Most kits come with the punch and die so all you need is a hammer.

Thanks Scooter, was hoping it would work

I do have the kit but when it tore it made the hole to large and I did not want to cut that part off and re punch which would make it a lot shorter
