OK, yesterday afternoon I went to close my rear trunk and heard a snap! One of the bolts in the hinge assemby area completely snapped in half. Now I'm not sure how to fix this. I can't get either half out. Has anyone experienced this? I took the trunk lid off and am considering taking the whole hinge assembly off, but am concerned with the spring assembly.

Thanks for the advise. Makes perfect sense. I imagine you've done it a time or two. That's the one plus to repeat work, it gets that much easier everytime as you come up with new ways to do it. My car sat garaged for 17 years, so I think the part of the bolt that should act as a hinge completely siezed up with rust in there. I will take the other side out and lube to avoid another "snap."
