Hello Gang!,
After a few years of having a ducktail spoiler on my car it seems to have developed an issue with the gas struts failing on the boot (trunk) lid. They are currently still working fine when helped up and keep the deck open but don't have the same vigour when lifting they used to. This also may not be helping a previously mentioned issue about the boot (trunk) release not fully releasing. I know the supra has a vacuum issue causing the lid to re-lock itself when you close the door before its fully opened but mine seems to have gotten even more temperamental. Ive got the boot lid adjustable stops on maximum and its not making a single bit of difference.
To conclude, Do any of you have any gas strut issues? Any aftermarket struts worth buying over the Toyota ones? Is there any new info on the stupid boot (trunk) latch issue i may not have heard?
Thanks for the help everyone.
