Distance Trunk opens
In the 92-99 Bonnevilles, when you press the remote trunk release, it only pops open about six inches.
However, in the 00-05 Bonnevilles, do the same thing and the trunks opens all the way up.
Is this due to the struts? If so, are the struts of both generations of similar length and size?
I want my trunk to open all the way remotely (helps when you have your arms full)

I need to kick mine down a notch.... I think I could launch a cat to the moon with how fast and hard it opens.. 00-05 have really stiff springs.

The trunk pop all depends on how much tension you have on the torsion bars. At one point I uh..over adjusted mine and could have been a force to reckon with in the kitty launching try outs.

I think we would all like to see a Barney trunk launch, where is the furry little one.I cured my GXP switchblade action by bolting the subwoofer amps to the trunk lid. It'* a good place for it, its out of the way and the heat sinks get the air they need.
