Interesting the following instructions say different.[ came off ebay lift support depot site ]
Remove the old support from the vehicle by placing a small flat headed screw driver under the U shaped band on the ends of the support. Slowly turn the screw driver and it will lift up on the band approx.1/8", then pull the support away from the vehicle and it will release.
To install the new supports do the same procedure in reverse. DO NOT jam the new support end over the ball socket without lifting the U band slightly or damage may occur.
So who is right

I would follow the directions. I popped my on . I probably didn't read the the directions. Just make sure on the new ones you don't remove the clips. I can see them being a bugger to get back on.

My question is after you put in new struts when you unlock the trunk with either the remote or button in the car should the trunk lid pop up or do you have to lift it up to access the trunk area.Most cars after up unlock the trunk the lid pops up a little to get your hand under the trunk lid.Thanks Jimbo
