Dear Mama's trunk lid has suddenly gotten rather unwieldy for her to lift, and a handful to close without slamming. Does anyone have any pointers for replacing the struts?? Evidently I can reach behind the trim and under the strut to get at the forward mounting point, is it just that "simple" or is there a better way? Also, do you have any recommendations for sourcing the 3509350 normal duty part?

Yes, I'm a saaber, not a roller. But we are considering an S80 for the better half, so I've been getting aquainted with the Brickboard. TIA, Steve
