Is this a good place to put the ZEX bottle in my trunk?

Hey guys what do you think about me moving my ZEX bottle to right behind the ski through? That way since I dont have a remote bottle opener I can just reach back fold the ski through down and turn the bottle on, instead of getting out openening the trunk turning it on and getting back in. Do you think that would work? Let me know what you think about it. I am going to get a remote bottle opener eventually but was just looking for a temperary fix. Take Care

you gotta reach pretty far back there unless you have the bottle sticking out past the hole in plain sight for cops.

True, I am just trying to find an easier way to access the bottle until I get the remote opener. I was thinking about putting it just out of sight behind the ski hole. Who knows, maybe it wont work. Thanks, and Take Care

just get out of the car to open, hide it in a bass tube, like a bazoooka tube.

Put it in the back seat, on the floor, and cut up a gym bag to fit around it as a disguise.

Sit with it between your legs....

Actually the best place that I can see putting the bottle is in the trunk and there is really no way to open it without getting up, so why not just go to the trunk and open it.

read the instructions.. it says the bottle should not be mounted anywhere near the engine.. or in the cabin of the automobile.. which means the trunk.. thats what i think?

do like what Thomas does.. ride with a friend and have him stick his hand in the ski hole and turn it on

So going by that I suppose the roof is the only reasonable option?

You can mount it over by the ski hole. I was thinking about doing that back when i had nitrous. If you read the instructiosn & warnings, the bottle is suppose to face the front & has to be mounted at an angle.

Either way you will ahve to reach into the trunk and/or get out to open it. I always made a friend reach back there so i wouldnt have to.

I actually have the bottles inside the passenger front seat. I cut out the seating cushins and placed smaller bottles in there.
