firstly how have you wired the popper??? to a switched live or intermittent live?? if intermittent then theres your problem as it will pop and then retract slightly when the power stops going to it. if on a switch leave it flicked on??? or the rubbers on the boot, twist them out to create pressure so that when the boot pops it opens slightly further. hope any of this has been of help to you. good luck.

They should sell spring loaded rubbers to kick the boot fully open

Something bigger and softer would have the same affect. You might also benefit from stronger gas struts - do you have a spoiler?

Check they've got 'spoiler' written on them as they're slightly uprated. Could also try some newer ones, they can leak and fail over time.

Another trick is to grind the hook so it clears the pin on the first click of the lock
