The trunk lid on my '94 SC400 won't stay up. Anybody out there with any suggestions?

why is this in the build threads?

 

uhhhhh don't think to hard....
you need new trunk struts...

 

or if you are to cheap, a pair of vice grips on the shaft will keep it up

 

I have posts in this thread and the replacement struts are still working great...

MAKE SURE YOU GET A SET THAT INCLUDES NEW BALL JOINT BOLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


When I had the whole car painted last year I had the body shop replace the hood struts so am in good shape on both......

 

Yeah it's a simple job. Can be as quick as 10 minutes if it comes off easy or as much as 30-40 minutes if you have trouble getting the old ones off.

Just buy new trunk supports/struts, pull off the old ones and put the new ones on, the linked threads have pictures and instructions.

 

Don't listen to these trolls. You need a whole new car man..

 

All you need is new trunk struts due to the old age of are SCs. ~$25 on amazon .

 

Thanx BeakSC, Those photos and step-by-step info were dynamite. Bought the new lifters from German Imports in Texas somewhere for 74.95 for the pair. Easy job. All done, works beautiful.
Thanx again!! Lobstaman

 

leave a piece of wood in your trunk and hold it up like that.

 

I'm not mechanically inclined, so I need all the help I can get. I bought the pair of struts and
actually put them on myself and didn't have to think to hard either. Thanx for you're input.

 

ha good work then!
