Gas Struts on The trunk lid? Here you go.

Ok, I'm sure there's more than one way to skin a cat, I know it cause I just finished doing this to my car.
But I went a little differently. My torsion rods were shot, would not open the trunk, or hold it open. I got tired of it falling on my head.

So here's a few pics of what I did, and a video I just finished of the operation.

I chose to just give the torsion rods a little help. Heres a few pic but you can see better what I did in the video.
