Door opening selionds

what door poppers are you using?

i have the aVS slim line kit and it sucks im using them on a 56 buick special. looking to get better poppers so i dont have to open the window to get in the car.
thanks

 

I used big trunk release solenoids on my '52 Buick - worked just fine.

 

Could be how you have it rigged. Where did you mount the solenoids, and how is it pulling the latch?

 

i its pulling the latch sideways. that is the way the latch releases. could anyone post a pic of how they hooked everything up in the door?

thanks

 

I would think if you have a 1/2 decent popper and good rubber around the door the thing should open just fine. Is something else keeping it from poppin' open?

 

Here's how I did mine a few years back. Still working fine:
