Viking Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Hi all. Should my trunk lid open up fully with the pressure of the struts, or are they just to dampen movement both opening and closing? Mine does not open all the way, so do I need new struts? It unlocks but only moves about an eighth of an inch, just enough to get my fingers under it and open it. The reason I do not know is that this is the first sedan I have ever owned with struts instead of the spring things.

The struts do not open the trunk on 2006-2012 models. They only hold the trunk lid open once you manually lift it. Good luck.
