If you're wondering why the trunk doesn't go up when you release it, that's how it's supposed to be. My 1981 Cadillac Coupe Deville was like this too... you pop the trunk and you had to physically go pull up on the trunk. Same way with hatchbacks and wagons... If you didn't mean that, then disregard! Unless you mean this: Trunk Spring # I don't remember my SVT or my GL having this... maybe I just didn't notice it! Ok, searched some more, apparantly it's a mod that pops the trunk open... Well, doesn't pop it open all the way, but at least enough so it unlatches. Last edited by Kane; 12/28/05 11:39 PM.

I say might be because it is described only as "spring" The time of purchase and price sounds about right. So try this number and see if it is still available.

Don't use the old part number. It's still available. I ordered mine from the Ford Dealership 4 months ago. They charged me $25 though. It didn't come with the screw. You might need to get a small self tapping sheet metal screw for it. Every since after I installed that spring, my trunk has always opened up for me with no problems.
