Trunk Struts
My wife parked in our sloped driveway yesterday and opened the trunk. Surprise! it came down on her forehead. It's fine in the garage so she was obviously not expecting a headache. There are MANY choices on Amazon
Any recommendations for which to get? 2005 UL.

I would go with the ones made by Stabilus. They are a little thicker than the cheapo ones in my experience, and also have lasted for many years in my cars. I have a set on my rear hatch on my 08 sequoia that I put on, and it still swings that heavy-*** door open without any problems after 4 years. some of the manufactures use Stabilus struts from the factory too.
I have a set of these on my LS, and they do exactly what they need to.

(Takes some effort to open first several inches then as angle increases effort lessons at about 20-30' deck lid will stay in place at about 70' deck lid will move on its own to fully open.
To close take a little effort to start the close then at maybe 20' (some inches from fully closed) deck lid will close on its own if let go.)
