Anyone fitted one of these?

Got mine all wired up , but when you push the switch it takes the boot off the catch, but then lets it back on to a sort of safety catch ?

Any ideas as to how I can sort it ?

Cheers

wind the rubbers out on your boot lid, so that they are pushing down more, this will make the boot spring open more when the solenoid opens

they are on the bootlid, the sit on the car body just above the rear lights, you dont need to wind them out much just a little bit,
