on a side note what do all you a/c owners do about idle with it on?

I'd like to add another question to the list.... the first 20 are free right?

From the factory, did the rear trunk lid have any kind of mechanism to keep it from falling shut (like the front one does)? I can't see anything in mine that may have served such a purpose.

thanks,
Markus

you are allowed an unlimited number of free questions.
however, only the first 20 -answers- are free.

there were dangerously powerful torsion springs located in the engine room acting on rollers that counterbalanced the deck lid's considerable weight. it was fairly common for the roller pivot attachments to rust or otherwise rip away from the side bulkheads where they were originally attached.
