Is the rear trunk held open by tension springs like the front or with a prob rod. Called Stoddard to see what they have and their drawing shows hinges, rollers but no spring to keep the rear lid open. When asking him about the front lid, there it shows the springs. Can someone explain this. I do not want to drill to add the small torsion bars on my '72 914 to hold the rear lid open. Thanks for your time. Karl
