When coming out of a store with a sack full of groceries, has anyone figured out how to open the RoadSmith trunk one-handed?

I can easily open mine single handed... Do it all the time. Was this suppose to be a trick question or sumin...???
I twist my knob and then pull the trunk open with the same hand. The new models have a different, better latching system
I'll put my video here that I posted on the other board. With the proper adjustments you can open the trunk single handed.

I think I'm gonna have to find out how to adjust mine .It sure don't pop open like the link shows.:Shrug:
2 hands for me, but what difference does it make?
I think I'm going to have to try the "washer fix' on my 2010 Roadsmith. Cuz there's no way it will open 1 handed. Any pics available of your install?
It took me forever just to figure out I needed to shim the inside latching system. Loosen the two bolts at the top, put a flat washer in and then and only then would it lock. That little rounded dome on the locking bar... Aaaaahhh! They just put it there to mess with my head.
I wrote to Roadsmith about the one-handed opening of the trunk. They replied saying they almost have a new one-handed latch ready and asked if they should send me one when available. If any of you are interested - would be worth a request. epper:epper:epper:
