Trunk lift supports

duke48 · 05-30-2018, 07:24 AM

I have a Surco luggage rack on the trunk. Now the trunk has no lift at all. It's entirely a manual effort. I wonder if struts with more lb. pressure would work?

or do I just need new ones. I still have the originals installed.

I suspect getting new originals would suffice. Mine are quite weak and need replacement and I don't have anything on my trunk lid. They are a cheap fix too. https://www.ebay.com/i/252405782574?chn=ps
For under 14 bucks - why not give it a try?
