F-ing trunk struts

[MadDog]

There is a place in hell for the guy who designed the placement of the trunk lid hydraulic struts. **** I hate replacing those. After jamming my fingers with a screwdriver multiple times and having the deck fall onto my legs, I think there is a cloud of obscenities hanging over the state of GA.

I finally got it, but its going to take me hours to wash off the grease and sweat.

Fuuuuucccckkkkkkk.

To releases the inside ones, u need a person with tiny hands & a light on your forehead

Yeah but I like my adjustable prop rod from Amazon lol. Or making it a 2 person job to load and unload the trunk. So convenient lol
