Okay, I'm sure this has come up before but I could only find a few threads on it.
I have my doors shaved and my solenoids installed. That part is working fine. My question is with the door poppers themselves.
What is everyone using? Brand and placement?
I have a pair of poppers from Dakota Digital (they are just rebranded) that have a spring loaded plunger. I wanted to install them in the door jamb up by the door hinges but after drilling and installing one on the driver's side I've found it doesn't open any better than it did without them.
I think they would probably work better at the rear of the door but don't know for sure. At this point I don't want to just start drilling holes everywhere in the car in the hopes that I can get these to work.
I've also seen some out there that look to be something like a valve spring that is welded to a base plate. These appear to be designed to go at the front, hinge side of the door. This is really where I would like to keep everything because it would look cleaner.
As it stands now the door solenoids will unlatch the door to the first notch in the catch but then you have to hit them again and pull on the door to get it to open the rest of the way.
If you have pictures of your setup that would be great!
Thanks,
