This is new on 2017 models. A few local guys I know did this upgrade on theirs after seeing it on my '17. It's a standard Mopar Viper part. Someone can chime in with the part number I'm sure.

[City]

OK this is truly a lame "upgrade". I hope it comes as a "spring kit" for the console, glove box, doors and shifter too.

[bluesrt]

its a part off the Ferrari I think,brought into the snake

[BJG32]

There are 2 different Springs spec'd. One for wings and one for no spoiler/ ta 1.0 spolier.

Here is the ta 1.0 spolier part #.

Here is the wing kit

Lame or not it would be nice on my gen3. Unless I'm at the trunk, lifting up while pressing the button you can't open the stupid thing.

[Ninjakris]

I did this upgrade a few weeks ago. Well worth it.

[ViperJon]

This is wonderful. Now it will take two seconds to open the trunk whereas previously it took four.

[City]

Not to mention the strain on finger flexor tendons.

[PkB2014]

This is wonderful. Now it will take two seconds to open the trunk whereas previously it took four.

Or you know, 1 hand instead of 2. So 50% improvement in efficiency. It all depends on a person's perspective I suppose.

I personally didn't think much of it at first, but some of the Viper owners I know found it to be a nice easy improvement to make. They seem happy about it. I believe it takes about 15 minutes to install.

Hey, don't mind us. Whatever floats your boat. ;)

[PkB2014]

No worries. My '17 came with it. Like I said, I didn't think much of it either. ;)

[sadil]

Non-Spoiler/TA1 version does not come up at all anywhere. I wonder if the extra spring force on the TA2/ACR version will hurt anything on a Non-Spoiler/TA life gate.

[timberwolf]

This is great! I always try to push up from the third brake light/badge which is a total pain. My old C6 Z06s popped up so this makes sense!

[stradman]

Any idea how much this costs?

[Special Ed]

Any idea how much this costs?

You can find them online for about 42 to 45 dollars.

[BJG32]

I dont have a problem with the current trunk. My wife does though. Now picking her up at the store doors with bags in her hands is no longer an issue. No brainer 'upgrade'.

Jon, I Went With MoparAmerica .Com

[steve911]

Do you get two for that price or are they sold each?

[BlueAdder]

You get a set for some $45. I bought a set yesterday because I don't like to push on the wing or whatever in order to open that darn thing.
Would have been nice had those things been standard on the Viper though.

[Dr.Ron]

Jon, I Went With MoparAmerica .Com

When I go there it does not find the part #.

Can you provide a direct link to the part please?

EDIT: I found the one for the wing there. Does anyone know if that will be fine for a non wing car?

Thanks!

Looks like you're right, it's not on moparamerica nor mopardepot.
It should work on both right? I'm guessing it's just the spring on the wing one being stiffer so that shouldn't be a problem.

I suspect it would work for either.

[BJG32]

I am putting the "wing spring" on a "none wing" car. I'll report how well it works. The part is on it's way.

[SSGNRDZ_28]

My 17 did not come with the pop-up kit installed from the factory. I ordered the kit and the driver side would not screw in because of the shape of the hole (passenger side OK). I would have to do some modification of the hole to get it to work. Maybe that is why it didn't come with it in the first place. Point being, don't force it in if it doesn't go easily.

[The_Ruski_Driver]

Don't you have to drill and grind the trunk for it to fit?

[SSGNRDZ_28]

Didn't assume so for a 17 since I thought they come that way from the factory?

[bluesrt]

early 17 cars didn't have them/ I know the special ed cars do

[BJG32]

The hole has to be modified. The video posted by OP shows the install.

[SSGNRDZ_28]

On my hatch the hole diameter was sufficient to fit the spring barrel on both sides unlike the video. Passenger side installed completely without any modification. Driver side would not thread more than a turn or so without resistance.

[PkB2014]

Correct. I believe it was a mid-17 added feature. Mine was built in mid-December and has this spring-loaded pop-up kit installed from the factory.

[Rocket]

Thanks for posting this. Hoping someone can provide additional measurements as I would love to have this on my 2009 Vert/Coupe. Specifically looking for the "reach" of the spring portion - and the length from where it mounts to the end of the spring. Thanks!

[BJG32]

Fyi. The wing kit works perfect on none wing cars. Istalled mine today.

Rocket....not sure what you mean by reach, but i took 2 pics that may help.

Doug - does the single side provide any lift at all, or not worth doing it if not modifying the driver-side to fit?

[BJG32]

Single side would provide lift, but uneven pressure when closing....which makes me think it could warp or crack the deck lid. The springs are pretty strong in these pieces

[SRT BILL]

BJG32, are they adjustable at all? What type of tool did you use to tighten them down? Thanks.

[BJG32]

BJG32, are they adjustable at all? What type of tool did you use to tighten them down? Thanks.

Not adjustable. I used a pliers and narled it up a bit. Wrench would work better. Very easy install, but does involve grinding the hole larger.

[SSGNRDZ_28]

Doug - does the single side provide any lift at all, or not worth doing it if not modifying the driver-side to fit?

Yes it helped (not a complete pop-up) but I don't think I could leave it that way, will try to modify my hatch to get both in.

[1Koolasp 16ACR]

I Just Installed Mine , And Had To Modify The Hole , So Just The Barrel Would Fit , Not Much ,Used A Conical Sander On A Drill And Went Perfect, Had To Also Sand The Rubber Snubber There, With A Bench Grinder , So The Posts Would Clear With Out Issue , Done And Works Great .

[Rocket]

BJG32 - thanks for the pics - exactly what I was looking for.

[Mnsrt]

FYI for those planning on installing these on older vipers I put a set on my 04 vert that has an ACR wing on it and the springs are too weak to budge the trunk. May work on a gen 3/4 coupe or ACR though. I tried both ACR and non ACR versions.

[Dr.Ron]

Ordered!

Neither worked huh? Bummer. Thanks for sharing!

[A C R]

my 2017 came with the pop up BUT it didn't release the deck lid enough---put in a 3/16" shim over the factory shim now it releases the deck lid. so much for factory QC

Your Right , Just Installed Mine And After Opening Several Times , It Seams I Have To Push The Button Again ,To Pop It Up, Where Is That Shim Your Talking About ? , I Think Thats What I Need Also, Is It At The Latch ?, Can You Post Up A Picture

[Rocket]

Seems odd as I would think the Gen 5 trunk lid with glass and wing would weigh more than your vert trunk with wing - did you try to adjust the length of the new spring/add shims? This gets to why I was asking for the "reach" and length of the spring. With the Gen 3/4 the base of the rubber bumper is recessed behind the edge of the trunk lid and you also have a gap between the trunk lid and the bumper. In my case, the rubber bumper extends nearly 1.5" - and based on the picture provided by BJG32, the overall length of the new spring is 1 5/8" and the "spring reach or working portion" only about 3/4". Again in my case - this means I would need to add a 1/4-1/2" spacer between the base of the trunk lid and the base of the spring for the spring portion to be in the "working area" of the spring when closed.

I was looking at some of the "door popper" springs and they seem to have similar designs and lengths/spring reaches.

1 kool I had some hard rubber I cut it to match the shape of the factory shim (spacer) glued it to the factory shim/spacer now the pop up works like its suppose to .

Nope... on my 14 GTS it laid right in where it was supposed to.

[viperr]

I got my kit today and had it all installed in 20 minutes, including time to hunt up my tools. Based on several posts I got the wing springs for my non-wing 2014 GTS. It was a perfect fir and the trunk-lid pops up nicely. Perhaps It will work as an air brake on track days and help me decelerate at the end of the straight. (actually I am kidding about the airbrake part).

Thanks to the forum for making me aware of the kit. I appreciated the video to show how easy it is to install.

[Mr. Hollywood]

On my hatch the hole diameter was sufficient to fit the spring barrel on both sides unlike the video. Passenger side installed completely without any modification. Driver side would not thread more than a turn or so without resistance.

To close the loop on this I modified my driver side hole with a tapered sanding bit and all is good. The shape of the "thread" needed to be modified to accept the plunger.

[Magzx12r]

Just installed mine this morning. I only had to enlarge the hole in the trunk on the driver's side. No other trimming required. Works great.

[BJG32]

Same here for both holes on a 2014. Both holes enlarged and thread on the Carbon Fiber had to be dremeled a bit to accept the thread on the pop up.

[OneofOneViper]

Had to Dremel the driver side hole just slightly and it was easy to install. Unfortunately even though I ordered the correct kit with the wing, it still doesn't have enough spring pressure to pop the trunk open on it's own. It's definitely better than it was, but you still have to be lifting up on the truck immediately after you push the button in order to raise the trunk without it re-locking. Even at $40 for the part, it's really not worth upgrading if you have an ACRE wing in my opinion. It certainly doesn't work as well as the TA video above.

May put some rubber bumpers where the pop ups meet the car?. Give it a little extra pop. It has to be close to enough strength...

[Dr.Ron]

I installed mine today on my 2014 GTS. I had to dremel both holes. The 1st one took about 8 seconds to do as I went slow and kept test fitting it. The 2nd one took 3 seconds. The entire job took about 3 minutes, including removing the rubber grommets and opening the package they came in. It actually worked with only one installed.
I love it! The trunk actually opens now!

Installed mine on Saturday. Took a few minutes because I had to look for a hex key large enough...

Anyway, I wish that the springs were stiffer because with the ACR-E wing, the trunk pops a little but maybe about 1cm.

I got my kit today. The installation took about five minutes. i used a cone shaped grinding stone to enlarge the holes. the kit works flawlessly opening the hatch with a TA2 wing.

[BlueAdder]

the kit works flawlessly opening the hatch with a TA2 wing.

Methinks the ACR-E is too damn fat... It works but it remains latched on, but at least it's a lot easier to open the trunk now.

[cashcorn]

lol. the only reason I open the trunk is to clean the rear window.

[Special Ed]

lol. the only reason I open the trunk is to clean the rear window.

I open it for pretty much the same reason, but now I don't have to put down the microfiber towel and glass cleaner, it's so much faster. I now have an extra 1.5 seconds to drive the beast.

[cashcorn]

yes, i agree. good one..

Hey rocket, I have another project for you here in Tucson! I think this would be an awesome addition to my Gen III

I'll take you to the strip club as a thank you though. Sound good?

[USWAG RT/10]

Done! Piece of cake and works as expected. Highly recommend. No brainer

[Toolhead]

Installed my kit this morning on my 2017. Simply unscrewed the factory installed rubber stoppers and screwed in the spring loaded devices on both sides. Holes did not have to be enlarged with a grinder. Works like a champ!

[Vipes]

Are any of you worried about potential rust now that you are grinding a hole bigger and taking off factory paint to expose unfinished metal?

[Toolhead]

On my Gen V there was no grinding at all. I simply unscrewed the rubber stoppers and screwed in the spring-loaded units.

It's carbon fiber where the pop up kit is installed. No rust to worry about.

[Vipes]

Sweet, I'm sold on it, thx!

[Toolhead]

BTW I used the pop up kit designated for deck lids with ACR spoiler and it worked fine.

[white ACR]

I have an ACR-E that I had to stretch a hose washer over the threads of the pop up unit in order to shim it lower so that my trunk would pop up. The washer is black so that the washer is not noticeable at all. With shims the kit works well. It takes a little time to force the washer over the threads but it can be done. I think this looks better than a shim one the lower area of the trunk.--Dave

[sadil]

After hearing what people had to say, I decided to just grab the ACR version of the trunk popping kit for my TA. The passenger side went in super easy but the drivers side was a PITA. However, aside from install, I was not happy with the amount of force necessary to close the trunk. You have to slam it. Plus, even when it is closed, there seems to be a lot of push from the poppers and this is noticeable in the trunk crush gap. Overall, if you dont have an ACR or TA2, buy the regular kit. I know some of you had luck but they made two versions for a reason.

If anyone wants my ACR version poppers, I will take $35 bucks shipped (retail for about 55 including shipping) and try the regular poppers.

[ek1]

I'll take it. PM me your PayPal account info or other forms of payment you can accept.

[sadil]

Where did people find the non-wing pop up kit?

[Martin]

This may be a dumb question, but don't the '17 cars come with this from the factory? When I picked up my ACR-E, the dealer made a point of telling me that the cars now come with the hatch pop-up kit as standard. When I click my trunk button, the hatch does indeed pop up...

Yes, mine didn't come with the pop-up kit. VIN 134, delivered in November 2016.

It's interesting how, at the very last minute, they decided to add this. Same thing goes for the car covers - it seems like cars getting delivered now come with them at the time of delivery. I guess they got their act together finally...

See Post #5.

Magzx12r: Yes, I had read post 5; but, it appears to me to state the opposite of what Mark J had posted. That is why I asked for clarification.

[Magzx12r]

The 5043098AA popup kit has softer springs. It works on my SRT.

[SandViper]

Magzx12r: Yes, I had read post 5; but, it appears to me to state the opposite of what Mark J had posted. That is why I asked for clarification.

I'm in the same boat. Based on Thomas post 5 the picture shows 5043098AA in the NO WING box.

So for the ACR-E it should be 68334530AA. I would not think you would want the softer spring because of the weight.

[poptarts]

Installed mine today. I had to trim a tad but fit snug when screwing in. I'm ok and happy with my mod.

[SRT BILL]

Did your kit come with the wear plates

Jack, it did come with the plastic wear plates. I got the 68334530AA part#, it has plenty of spring tension to pop up the back deck. The wear plates are only thin pieces of plastic with adhesive on the back side.

[mjorgensen]

I stand corrected, if you look up part by VIN the 68334530aa is what comes up for an ACR. I did a generic search before and it says "MBW" carbon rear spoiler attached to the 5043098AA... so I "ass"umed I had it right, sorry.

[LATAMUD]

Revisiting this. Just finished installing the ACR trunk poppers on my 03 with ACR wing. If I gently lower the deck it won't latch on its own. When latched and I open it it does not pop up, still need to lift by hand. Although, I bet without the wing it would pop up on its own. I need a stiffer spring.25501

Which part number do you have? I have part number 68334530AA on my 2013 gts and removed them as the spring seems overly strong. Possibly you have the set thats for no wing.

The one for the wing will be too strong and will keep your hood pinned against the latch. Honestly, it is an uncomfortable amount of force. I didn't like it and I took them off.

I have the 68334530AA, non winged version, on my GTS and it's still quite stiff. Note that the hatch won't close unless you have a window or door open, due to cabin pressure. Had the same problem on my C6Z06. Worth it!

No wing version is 5043098AA...

[The_Ruski_Driver]

68334530AA listed as the standard one $65
5043098AA listed as the ACR (carbon spoiler) version $60

Both are readily available

If you read further, mark says he mixed them up. Check the first page with the pictures.

[The_Ruski_Driver]

Well I guess it's time to burn another 60 bucks

EDIT: Anyone looking for the winged version PM me. Just pay for shipping and it's yours...

Installed in less than 10 minutes. I would recommend a sanding or honing bit in a dremel too, nothing more aggressive, as the carbon comes away quite easily. I would also recommend making the holes a little larger than necessary to fit the barrel of the pins. Feels much safer when tightening it.

I installed the left one in the tight hole, and it made a snap sound when it seated. I had visions of a new hatch running through my mind, lol. The right side, in the larger hole, was drama free.

[SOberman001]

Gents
Installed my pop up's today with no drama. Had to dremel both holes just a bit with a sanding cone. With a gentle hand, it was 5-10seconds per at a lower RPM setting on my adjustable dremel.

Though I swear I did my research on this site and ordered the right parts for my small lip spoiler equipped, NON-winged GT, I end up with the ACR winged edition and installed it before I realized it (though it would take 5seconds to remove them).

Some of the guys on this site said that they used the winged edition on a non wring car (part number .... 68334530-AA). So far, I have not seen or had issues. Anyone that has had this kit for a while on a non-winged car have any issues over time?

Some of the Gents also said that the non-wing kit had springs that were too soft for the job so.... ? if I am not hurting anything, I would rather stay with what works. Thanks

[The_Ruski_Driver]

I gotta say that the softer springs work nicer with a non winged trunk. I don't think you're hurting anything by keeping the tougher ones though.

[SOberman001]

Work nicer because they pop up more slowly or dont' require as much downforce to close the trunk?

[No hemi]

I have the " winged" kit on my non winged car and it's not that hard to lock it and when it pops it "pops" :)

[ACRucrazy]

I just picked up my ACR Extreme from the plant about a month ago. When I pop the hatch, it comes up, but does not fully unlock, I have to hit the button a 2nd time and lift to open. Either I have the wrong poppers in mine or they don't really work as intended on the ACR.

Yeah, this is like mine. I just bring the hatch down in the center with one hand it seems to close just fine. For a light weight hood, it closes more easily than my SUV.

I ordered the softer springs and will get them later this week. If there is a big difference, then I will switch but all the body lines look the same so unless I hear it is putting stress on the locking mechanism itself, I will keep the stronger units.

[donk_316]

So I bought the correct kit for my car.

Seriously the barrel of the popper is easily twice the diameter of the factory holes on the car.

Does this sound close to what you guys have found?

[sadil]

Not at all! The barrel shouldn't even be the issue, rather the threads catching correctly. Then again, it's a carbon layup. Not sure how one panel varies from the next.

I had to enlarge the holes a bit, nothing too extreme:

FWIW, I started out with the ACR Wing P/N (it was all that was available initially) which worked fine but was a little harder to close, recently replaced it with the non-wing P/N and it still works well but is a bit easier to close.

Yup, that looks pretty close to mine. Don't be afraid to make them a little larger than the barrel, it'll make turning them in easier.

Just found wing type on eBay $48.6 shipped...FWIW

[Angleiron]

So how far is the trunk lid supposed to pop up after hitting the button?

[1of1TA1.0]

I have one of each on my TA aero car and on my ACR. Both pop the hatch just enough to unlatch so you can lift after only one push of the button. Shutting requires a little more effort on the TA Aero car and almost none on the ACR. I didn't even look at the part numbers, I just felt which had more spring tension and installed it on the ACR. I used a step bit and it took less than 5 seconds to get the hole perfect. No clean up or anything necessary with the step bit. Great addition as I hated the way the hatch worked before. I did have to trim the bump stop on the ACR but the TA went super fast.

[aspman]

I got it and really like it....if you have something in you hand it was tough.....only problem is make sure you push down enough to lock trunk...40 bucks well spent IMO!

[Lost me beer]

I just did my '16. Sounds funny, but it really does make a huge difference. When opening the trunk, you most likely are carrying something which you must put down to open your trunk. Not so any longer. A must have honestly. Once the button is pressed, it opens/lifts the hood about an inch...just enough to clear the latch, then you just lift it up with the same hand you pressed the button with.
Easy cheasy install for sure.

I just finished the install on my ACR-E and they work perfectly!

[Hawk]

I just installed mine, what a great idea. I got the parts thru Mopar America $46.59. Really easy to install after watching that video

Just installed a set on my 13. Worth every penny spent. Cheap mod that brought a smile to my face.

[13COBRA]

I bought a set for my 03, will know in about 2 weeks.

Nothing like 2 years later, I ordered some, and installed them...didn't work on my Gen IV ACR.

[DZnutz]

Are people still able to find the "No wing" popper?

They're both on Ebay.

I'm glad this thread was brought back, I put this off when this was discovered and just ordered them now.

Now if only they would've worked on my car haha

[VYPR BYT]

Just ordered on MoparAmerica.com. Nice thread guys. Thanks SandViper for the recommendation.
I have a very fine Italian leather travel bag from Tony at Venzano Interior. It's made from the same 2-tone leather pcs from my interior he did for me.
I'm tired of having to set this wonderful piece of luggage on the ground to free up both hands when traveling from hotels...especially if its raing or snowing.
Those that know me on FB know what I mean by traveling. I do it a lot and have shipped the car all over.
This is a great little upgrade and long over due. Thanks everyone who contributed to this thread!

[ChargerMan426]

Since this has been brought back from the dead.... anyone know if it would fit a 2010 ACR?

Edit: Looks like....maybe

[ChargerMan426]

Over a year ago but if you're still around... did you add any of the rubber to under the popper? That sounds like a trick to get them to work on the Gen 4 ACR from what I've gathered through the thread.

I tried. If I add to much more height to it, in order to get it to unlatch, I have to press down on the trunk lid.

I just chalked it up as a loss.

[imzoomintoo]

Would love to see some pic's of the interior he did for you...

Just did this mod.
I had to make both holes bigger with step drill bit and then make a notch at top with drill bit and cut down the top of the thread on both toppers so they would thread into the hole.
Trunk now opens up about an inch higher now than when shut and I have to close it a little harder to get it to shut.
Very nice mod.
Everyone likes seeing cost so this cost me $110.
$55 for the poppers shipped and $55 for the step drill bit.

[ChargerMan426]

So I did this mod as well way back when. Worked fine for a few months…then they stopped actually popping the trunk lid open. This is on an ACR so maybe the weight of the wing is a factor? I’m just glad I didn’t have to drill or modify the deck lid to make it work.

[TBSH]

I have a 2017 and sometimes it pops open and sometimes it doesn't. Weird

I think this is due to the hatch sticking to the weather stripping over time. I find if you recently opened the hatch, the poppers will most likely work, and if you didn't, they wont. Regular hatch over here.

[Lawineer]

I used a dremmel and just went real slow. Grind a little, test, repeat. It’s pretty hard to screw up.
