I for sure wouldn't go any less. I started out with 15 lb, burnt them up and then went to 35 lb, they are really weak now(not burnt up but only work 20% of the time). Autoloc sells adjustable ones, don't know a lot about them but will most likely buy some next spring. I didn't need poppers on the Studebaker. The weather seal was enough to open the door far enough to release the latch. Good luck!
