Could prove difficult to keep them in the down position. A car uses a latch to keep the hatch closed and when you unlatch it, the force of the gas inside pushes it up. You would possibly need a latch or a weaker unit.

But I guess the pop tops are pretty darn heavy...probably won't find any that will actually pick it up anyway I suppose.
