Just getting ready to replace the rollers on the rear trunk hinges (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) It looks like removing the trunk lid might make the job a bit easier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Any thing that I should know about before I start?

Yes, the shocks work great, just like every modern car out there.
They mount to the hinge bracket on one end and to the rain gutter (with an additional bracket) on the other end. They fold down out of the way. Then you can remove the torsion springs if you want. Rich |
