so my trunk acts funny while opening. it is hard to open in the beginning and then easy toward the top. it stays open just fine, but one has to drop it from about an inch to prevent it from slamming.
anyway, i got new lifts from fordparts.com and i have no idea how to get them in there...
anyone ever do it?
the smaller (shaft) end goes into a small opening above and to the outside of the strut tower and i can't figure how to get the little clip off. once i get that sucker off, how do i get the new one back on?
i've read posts about the dealer doing it. but i accept the stealership as a final ditch effort.

thanks
