cmck13 Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 have just successfully, for the princely sum of thruppence a side, cured my annoying two handed bootlid manoevre for the much easier one handed operation! cheers madmarky and all in about 5 minutes! Well done I have got up to two pence on each side and its still not opening. I am going to try the rubber washer trick because the pennies have started to mark the boot, only problem is, it ups the price from 6pence to a couple of quid. Quote
Ebized Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 This a TSB for the same issue on the 370 - not sure, but maybe the spring upgrade is the same for both the 350 and 370 and given the pic on page 2 ?

Darren-B Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Thats a £69.96 profit then almost enough for an evenings drive Quote
cmck13 Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Thats a £69.96 profit then almost enough for an evenings drive Rubber washers worked, 2 small tap washers in each (1/2" wide) cost £1.09p from focus DIY but no damage like you can get from pennies,wear and tear etc. Saving £68.91, success. Quote
JMRolfe Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Does anyone know of a cheeper place to source these (or have the old ones spare?)? My 350z is spoiler free but is missing one of its 'spring-lifts' hence am having the same problem... Thanks James Quote
ThomasSoerensen Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I just did this with 2 5EURcent coins i neach. Nice result. Good guide. Quote

LordGrover Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I tried three pennies each side and they worked a treat. Then read on and was concerned about the coins breaking the plastic so replaced them with some o-rings that were lying about. Sorted. Quote
HEADPHONES Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 I'd already done this with 1 rubber washer per side. Been about 5 years or so and boot wasn't popping as it should. Put an extra washer in per side Now by boot pops better than Vin Diesel 1 Quote
