Frunk lid strut fix-easiest job ever

Don't live with weak gas struts one more day. Replacing them is under $30 and you need a small screwdriver. It's only slightly tougher than turning on the radio.

Open frunk and prop lid up taking care not to dent it. The strut mounts to the body via a ball joint at each end. To remove the ball joint, look for a flat spring-steel clip near the ball joint and visible with the lid open. Put the flat screwdriver into a flat area which has room for the blade of the driver to go under the spring, Twist the screwdriver which will pop the spring up and now pull or push the strut off of the ball joint mount. Installation is the reverse, just get the end of the strut correct.
