Trunk falls closed by itself - trunk struts?
 

Hello. A few years ago, I started having problems with the ol' Olds where the trunk would gradually fall closed on its own after having been accidentally left open in the garage for a few hours. Now, it can hardly hold its own weight anymore. I'd seen someone on YouTube replace these parts on another car, and I was wondering if this would most likely fix the problem, and if so, how I would go about doing this.

Thanks.

Yes, Amazon sells the parts and changing them out is easy. Just bolts at each end of the struts

Better late than never...
 

Indeed. Got it done a number of years ago and the trunk doesn't fall closed anymore.

Does your trunk open all the way by itself?
