Hello All, The rear trunk lid lifts on my 2012 Lexus is250c are kaput. I have been on youtube (to no avail) trying to find a video showing the removal and replacement process. Being the vehicle is a hardtop convertible the bottom trunk lid struts/lifts are located in a tight spot seeming to make it virtually impossible to remove the bottom ones. Does anyone have step by step instructions or

a link to view a video of removing same?

I recently did these on my 2011 IS250C. There's a super easy trick to getting at the bottom ones: Put the roof halfway into the open position, and release the button. If you balance it just right, it will stop in place and you have free access to the lower mounting point for the trunk struts.

No worries. I was very confused at first too and about to give up, then I thought "I wonder what would happen if I opened the roof...."
