Trunk Lid

[Stompy]

When parking my LS460 on my sloped driveway my trunk lid does not stay fully opened. Once opened it starts to slowly slip downward. Dealer says there is no adjustment to fix this problem.

Introducing .... (drum roll, please) .... the new Lexus LS460 trunk lid prop! The attached photo is actually the broomstick I use to prop up the hood each time the LS hood struts start to fail until I can install a new set.

Seriously, the trunk on every Toyota/Lexus car (not SUV) I've owned or rented doesn't have much of a spring to hold it open like on some cars whose trunk lids spring open with enough force to take your head off and a even make it difficult pull/push down the lids to shut.

I guess you could actually use some sort of prop -- maybe a ski pole would make a good "upscale" trunk lid prop befitting an LS460.

If this is a frequent problem, why don't you point your car down hill in your driveway so that the trunk lid stays open.
