Tired of cheap trunk lift supports/shocks
People,
Bought a pair of "BOXI" supports, and it seems like they dont support nothing. It is a struggle to lift/open the trunk. One has to use much force up top about 1/2 way, then the support mechanisms start doing some "lifting". Is this normal, or am I just expecting too much from these supports? Did I but cheap junk? If so, can you advise of a good brand? Thanks, people. |

The Stabilus I'm using have exceeded my expectations. They are more powerful than what you describe. It's now closing the trunk that is the challenge.

I've had stabilus for 3 years now. First thing I bought for the car and continues to work quite well. Yes, closing the trunk is not for the faint of heart. Hood ones are nice as well.
