They are 7 and 9, but not that tall (both about 4 feet). They are strong enough to push it down from the side, but it just not comfortable and they are getting wet/dirty.
Letting them out of the car without help was one of the main reason I went with 4 door sedan and not convertible (and not 911)
.
I still be not sure if I do anything at all, but was trying to get some new ideas. (my son's idea was to add robotic pulldown mechanism based on mindstorms or Boe-Bot)

What about adding a nylon belt type strap, "to limit the opening height of the boot" - depends how much you would need to limit the open stroke (aperture) of boot of course, too small an opening and it would become a mail box! Haven't checked at time of this mail, but if a strap can be anchored discretely somehow and also not have to limt opening of trunk too much for use / use by grown-ups ....then might be another alternative??

Try this for too high trunk when open
You can either buy the Higgins Hook (higginshook.com) or fabricate something like it. I found most of the suggestions here and on the web not helpful.

Just realized previous message was a necropost and the kids are probably tall enough now to close the trunk.
