FLIP-FLOP SUICIDE TRUNK INSTRUCTIONS

These are the instructions on how to modify your trunk to flip down. This will allow you to open your trunk in two ways: the normal way and the flip down way.

---------------- Materials:

2 - 2" Slide Bolts (Latches)

2 - 3” Strap Hinges

Drill with small bit (1/16” to 1/8” depending on the size of the screws) to pre-drill screw holes and a large bit (5/16” or 3/8”) to drill for the latches in Step #6

Phillips screwdriver (the screws should come with the hardware)

----------------

Instructions:

1. Remove your trunk lid by unbolting 4 bolts. Do not remove the stock brackets, only the trunk lid. You may have to remove some wiring also. Just remember where everything plugs back in. This part will take 2 people.

2. Attach one side of the hinge to the side of the bracket that was connected to the trunk with the hinge facing away from the trunk. Repeat on the other side. Make sure to pre-drill your holes.

3. With help reconnect the trunk to the brackets using only the bottom bolts (the top ones won’t go in because the hinge is covering the hole for them).

4. With the trunk in place, pre-drill and screw in the screws for the other side of the hinges. You may have to bend the hinges slightly to get them to fit right. A little pressure or a small hammer will do the trick.

5. Connect the latches about 2 inches from the bottom of where the brackets touch the trunk lid. Be sure they are mounted on the inside of the brackets.

6. Mark a spot on the stock bracket to drill a hole to allow the latches to latch (this is where the big drill bit comes in). You may have to remove the bottom bolts to drill so you don’t damage them if you ever want to put it back to stock. Be sure the latches will close tightly. If they don't you may have to replace the bottom bolts each time you want to fold down your trunk lid. (If you don’t plan on using this trick too often, you can skip the latches and just

replace the bottom bolt anyway. This will keep it very secure but still let you use it when you really want to.)

7. Once you have the latches on, you can remove the bottom bolts if you haven’t already and flip the trunk down. The hinges will let the trunk fold down to level, but not any farther. To close the trunk flip it up, slide the latches into the holes you drilled in step #6, and close the trunk normally.

8. If you have some subwoofers in the trunk, you might want to put some foam tape along the stock brackets to keep the trunk from rattling against them.

9. If at any time you want to put it back to stock, you can just remove the hardware and replace the bolts. There will only be a few small holes showing.1
