thats a good feature

if i had the boot popper struts i would prefer the 2 press way of opening the boot in case i opened it accidentally in the garage or something.

if i opened the boot in my garage it would hit the door!

Well when I was looking at these automatic hatch openers I thought does it come off the catch with one click I tried it. It does comes off the the first catch but it doesn't open you have to press it again to open it, the videos on YouTube don't really show two clicks. Well thats how mine works anyway.

I had no idea that the boot release (from the key fob) had a two stage unlock/open like the rest of the car  :embarassed:

I press and hold to pop the boot.

Yup, I agree, press and hold and the (my) boot will pop about 1 cm, tried a double press on the 'boot' button and no difference to a single press....
