Many owners of Lada Granta sedans are familiar with this effect, which is caused by the design features of the trunk lid. In the open position, the lid is held by torsion bars and a light breeze can close or even slam the lid. If you’re currently bent over to do something in the boot, you’re guaranteed to hit the lock directly on the spine.
Yes, you can adjust the torsion bars for more preload by moving their ends to the next hole on the bracket. However, the expert “Behind the wheel” Nikita Gudkov found a less troublesome way.
It may already be known to some experienced people, but its prevalence is clearly less than the popularity of Granta itself among the people, so we are happy to share it.
You need to take the spring from the clutch fork of the VAZ “classics”, hook one end of it to a small hole in the loop of the trunk lid, and the other to the technological hole in the trunk panel, as shown in the video. Checked – it works!
