Hi, I have just got a 2002 IS 300 Navigator sedan, 78,000 miles, very lovely (but thirsty) car. The first time my wife used the boot it fell on her head! Very painful. It just won't stay up (the boot lid that is!). The slightest wind or if the cars's on a slope, it comes down.
Ha, I thought, just needs some gas struts. Look inside - no gas struts, just a clever metal rod system. Like me, I imagine they have lost their elasticity over the years.
Anyone any ideas? Can they be adjusted? Taken off and bent?
