TGP5sp90 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I got sick of the rattling noise comming from the trunk, so I rob this one out of a Cadilac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 More details then that?? That is something I've long considered doing myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 WANT! That's so awesome. Any special wiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP5sp90 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 More details then that?? I wish I could remember what year cadilac it was, but unfortunately IDK. I do know that it was in the 90's hopefully someone on here can verify it. And as far as the installment I measured from the floor up to get the mark to land this one. Also I can tell you that your rattling will dissappear. The wiring comes with it, and all you have to do is give it 12 Volts. I came off the antenna power source since I'm never running both at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted2bass Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 These were on Park Avenues as well. My 93 has one. Unfortunately its broken like almost all the ones i have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I do know this: if any of you ever experiment with one get one that has the same type of motor as the one pictured, which is basically a window motor(flat sides with round top and bottom). Other styles have a much cheaper motor that is prone to malfunction... it is cylindrical by comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtuetovice Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 NICE! You should post up measurements and change this into a write up We used to have an 88 Lincoln Town Car with one of those. Now I wanna do it to the Cutty.

GaPrix Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'm sorry but what does that do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtuetovice Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 when you close the trunk an electric motor pulls it down tightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alec_b Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I used to love that on my '94 seville, but I had to punch a couple idiots that slammed my trunk AFTER I told them "click it shut gently". That's the main reason those units go bad, people don't know how they work and slam the trunk. BAM no more pull down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 brings me back to 1986, my dads brand new seville had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White93z34 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 I love those things but get used to not letting anyone but you close your trunk. *slam* WTF? push, push push. open again *slam* had that happen at a tire shop with my old Camaro when they were putting the spare back in the hatch. Had to run out and tell them to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 My 72 Caddy had one of those, but it was a 2-piece setup with a cable. Did you have to drill holes in the car to install it or did you come up with something clever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP5sp90 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Yes I had to predrill for new holes, however I measured the height of the bar to the old one before taking it off, then drop that measurement a 1/4 inch. Hope this can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
