Weak trunk struts on a 2003 VW Jetta will not allow the lid to properly stay open. To replace the struts unbolt the mounts holding them to the car and replace them.
A guide to changing struts your Pacifica is under the related links.
Changing the struts on a 2000 Honda Accord requires removing the lower control arm, ball joint, and strut mounts. An alignment is suggested after installing new struts to provide the best drivability.
If struts need to be replace on a car it's evident by how noisy and bumpy the ride is. The cost to replace struts on a Toyota RAV4 is approximately $600.
All Toyota Camry's have struts in the front. This is also accompanied with strut mounts and bearings that are located between the mount & strut. I highly recommend replacing the mounts & strut bearings with the struts. My experience has shown that the mounts fail before the strut.
Replacing the struts with high performance ones can make the car have a lower center of gravity which can cause the car to feel like it is bottoming out. If the struts were replaced with shorter ones the same result will?æoccur.
When replacing struts, ALWAYS replace them in pairs.

hou to replace rear struts
You really have to take them lose and look but it's been my experience that the mounts can go before the struts. My Alliance was so bad the upper mounts where totally separated at 150000 but the struts were fine. Also, to check the struts themselves w/o removing, go to front of your car, put your hands on the bumper and push the car up and down really fast, then let go. If the car continues to bounce more than 3 times or keeps going for awhile, they are shot. Do the same with the rear.
