Why won't the Magotan's trunk pop up?
2 Answers
There are mainly two reasons why the Magotan's trunk won't pop up, which are: First reason: The sealing strip has aged, causing the rear lid to stick. Second reason: The spring force of the rear lid has weakened. The solution involves the following three steps: Step one: Remove a corner of the interior trim panel. Step two: Move the hook of the rear lid spring back one notch. Step three: Restore the interior trim panel. Here are some additional points: 1. When the trunk lid is equipped with hangers or a luggage rack and is loaded with items, do not open the trunk lid. Similarly, if the trunk lid is loaded with items such as a bicycle, do not open it, as the trunk lid may close on its own due to its own weight and additional load. If it is necessary to open the trunk lid, it must be securely supported with an appropriate prop or the load must be removed. 2. When the car is not in use, always close and lock the trunk lid and all doors. Before closing, ensure that no one is inside the car.
I've encountered situations where the Magotan's trunk wouldn't pop open, mostly due to issues with the trunk lock or spring system. If you use your car frequently, the lock cylinder might be jammed with dust or worn out, especially when components contract in cold, damp weather. For models with power tailgates, check if the remote key's battery is depleted or if the interior button has poor contact. Try manually pulling the trunk handle to see if it can be pried open; if not, the spring might be deformed and need replacement. A word of caution: avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging components. Also, regularly carrying heavy loads in the trunk can accelerate wear, so it's advisable to lubricate the hinges periodically to maintain smooth operation. In short, this isn't a major issue—try troubleshooting it yourself first, and if that doesn't work, a quick visit to the repair shop should do the trick.
