    tension springs for the trunk

    How do I get the tension spring's for the trunk placed in the right spot? One spring is on and the other is off. We have to use a broom stick and it is SOO imbarassing lol "Dude your car sound's so cool oh but your trunk is held up with a broom stick you might want to get that fixed" Thank you captain obvious

    Fords work shop manual shows how to make one. It works on the right side only still takes some musle. Had to trim one end a bit shorter than they stated.

      Did it by hand last time I popped one off. Took a lot of cursing, but in the end it was pretty easy. So spend 50 minutes cursing, 20 minutes staring, and about 2 minutes actually accomplishing something.

      I need to make mine tighter in their old age....but I really don't want to spend another 50 minutes (times 2) cursing.

        My vic was the only car to give me trouble adjusting the rods. I put a tow strap on the rod and pushed it in place while two friends pulled on it. Never had a problem with any other car, a one man job usually.
