So guys, here's what's going on.

My doors are shaved, I have poppers in the doors. Have had these in here for the past 3 years... however, this is the 2nd time my AutoLoc popper has broken.

Inside the popper, it has a snap washer that holds the bolt that slides back and forth in the unit when you trigger the popper. This is the 2nd time this washer has broken/disentigrated on me.

I think it is due to the popper eaching it's max pulling point and hitting the washer. Several hundred times of this happening (since my car is a daily driver) and the washer cracks and breaks.

Should I downgrade to a 30Lb popper so it doesn't pull so hard? Or maybe go down to a lower wire size (I'm running 10 gauge wire) so it doesn't supply it with so much power and pull as hard.

I'm afraid of using a 30lb popper cause some people have told me they have had problems with it having enough power to open our doors, so I went with the 50lb.

Any thoughts? I hate replacing these things... I wish they made a stronger clip that holds that bolt in place.
