So I added 2 nickels to the bottom of each spring and it worked! Finally I don't have to use both hands to open my trunk! Hopefully it stays this way
Thanks again for this DIY fix/mod! I was
very hesitant to take the panel off myself because of the clips, especially those white ones! Was going to bring it to stealership to get it looked at, but I just went ahead and did it; and I'm glad I did!
