Pretty soon the lock & wiper will be going on my Corsa. Obviously I'll still need access to the boot from time to time.

The solenoid. Not got one yet but I understand that Im best using a Mk 3 Fiesta boot popper? What should I wire it to? Is there anything I can use which doesn't mean I have to start running wires through the car?

I was thinking if I wire it up the the power for the rear wiper then all I have to do to pop the boot is push the wiper stalk forwards?

Any help/info/suggestions welcome on this

yeh but if you knock the stalk as your driving along youll be annoyed, id probably use the wiring from it but relocate the switch.

How much did you pay?

What are these things worth?

So just trace the wiring back & branch it off? May as well run a new wire?

Very easy to fit, however I had wired a couple of neons into my boot ages ago , from the battery and used them for the solenoid.

But yeh I think its most common to do off the wiper motor.

Buy a kit off ebay probably about £10
