I mailed it today - Gift to your wife - hope it works
unscrew the stopper screw on the driver side up - place the 2 springs on the stopper screw- start out with 1" height and raise it up higher until the trunk opens.
Cheers,
Louis

Hello all,
For those who want to get springs, you can try them here, these are where professional fixture vendors would order from.
<a href="http://www.leespring.com/">leespringdotcom</a>
<a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/#">mcmasterdotcom</a>
Now, I can get some samples from fixture vendors, I don't want to make money by buying and selling stuff on here. Please round up everyone who wants to have these springs so I can get some and mail them once and for all. I'm just here to help when it's possible.
I'll ask my 9 year old daughter to write and mail them out, she likes to have $5 per envelope (well she put the money in her college fund and I have to pay for the stamps and envelopes).
Now, I don't know if they will work on your case - I'll check to make sure she spells the address correctly - so don't ask me for the money back - and this is not a sale so don't paypal me as a business. Don't do anything until I can get all these springs in.
PM me if you want a set, by next week, I'll should know how many I need to get.
Cheers,
Louis

I just got 10 only
OK,
I got 10 this morning - Please review what can be done and what can't be done. If the trunk make motor noises but doesn't lift up the passenger side at all - The spring will NOT help - Hint, if you adjust the passenger side hinge up or down (the back one) a little, it may start lifting then the spring will work. If it's totally dead - the clutch must be fixed. Watch the video.
The outside springs they sent me are a little bigger than the .5", so the inner springs seem to be loose (they used to be snugged fit) - I found the wife's 1/2" drip hose, cut some, at it fit perfectly - I'll send some of these with the spring since many of you may not use drip hoses for gardening like me.
I only have 10 at the moment (I'm trying to get 10 more), please make sure yours is dead and fixable, let someone else who really need them. 6 reserved so far.
My daughter will start to write envelopes tonight - I don't use stamps, now I have to go to Costco to get some -
Please Email or PM me for the address -
Cheers,
