The reasons why the Sagitar trunk cannot automatically pop up: The spring has been used for too long, affecting its elasticity. To solve this issue, you can open the trunk, locate the spring position, and manually adjust the spring's elasticity until the trunk can pop up. The fundamental reason why the trunk of an older Sagitar cannot automatically pop up after several years is: The trunk opening bracket and pivot part of the vehicle have been affected by years of exposure to wind, sand, rain, and oil contamination, creating resistance at the pivot point, which prevents the lid from popping up as easily as it did when the car was new.
My Sagitar's trunk had the same issue before - it just wouldn't pop up, which was really annoying. That time I struggled with it in the garage for a long time, even manually opening it was difficult. Later when I took it to the repair shop, the mechanic said the trunk's hydraulic struts were broken - the sealing rings had aged and were leaking oil, causing insufficient pressure to lift it. Another possibility is that the springs at the top have lost their tension, especially noticeable in winter when plastic parts contract in the cold. Lack of lubrication can also be a factor - try spraying some lubricant on the hinges and latches. Additionally, if there are items in the trunk blocking the edges, like a large box pressing against it, that can affect the pop-up function. Electronic system failures are relatively rare in Sagitars, but if yours has automatic opening, it could be a control module malfunction or blown fuse. In any case, don't wait until it's completely broken to fix it - dealing with it early gives peace of mind.
