wait till you hear how i fixed mine..mine were extremely hard and heavy to hold open, so i would use a pear of vice grips to clamp on the strut, well one day i was closing it, and it felt hard to close it.(vice grips were still on there) i forgot they were there, so i slammed the trunk lid shut, i thought i had broken something for sure, but when i opened it the vice grips had fallen off, and since then it lifts and stays open by itself..lol
