Trunk Issues

Post by Trish »

I have been ignoring this for a long time but i'm just wondering what i should do about it. My trunk will not stay open :( I guess its the hydraulic arms that hold it open, i'm not sure what they are called. Do I need to replace them, how much should that cost? :?: I just hate keeping it open with my umbrella for fear of getting decapitated. :roll:

Easy to install yourself - just unbolt both ends and put the new ones in!

I had a Buick about take my finger off once when the hood fell (its strut didn't work either) and pinched my finger in between. Stitches are so fun... :roll:

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."
