Trunk won't stay open!
 

Hi guys, I just recently purchased a used 350Z and just today when I was using the trunk, I realized it couldn't stay up by itself. It is missing a spring on one side that doesn't allow it to open normally but when I get it opened the two hydraulic lifts do not seem to lock to keep the trunk open. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!

Lol you're probably going to get flamed, however...you need new hatch shocks. ebay or anywhere..

yeah the stock hatch struts tend to fail over time.. get the Z1 motorsports upgraded hatch struts.. only $60 bucks and a world of difference.

Mine doesn't work well when it's cold. A reminder that my car is 5 years old.

How mine stays open :D

Simple fix... http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35...oducts_id=4182

Purchase a Louisville slugger. That'll keep it open.

I use my old 6 iron.

I use a dowel rod with rubber ends.

I've seen someone did that. But which part do I hook that on?

That dang rear hatch has fallen on my head so many times...

With all the concussions I got from it, I keep forgetting the Hatch Struts are worn, and get another concussion....
