Trunk Wont Stay Open

Install is a royal pain. Remove the trunk interior panel. Held on by clips, easy to pop out. Using 12mm open end remove bolt that goes into trunk lid bracket. There is a shiny metal cip holding the other end, use a small screw driver or pocket knife to pry open clip ends which should release strut from bracket. I used a cutoff wheel to cut the rounded end of strut which has the ball stud (?) captured inside. There is a circular metal clip holding the ball but I could not figure out how to remove it, thus the cutoff wheel. Install is fairly straight forward. The replacement struts I got have a clip which holds onto the ball stud. Reuse the shiny clips for the other end.
