Trunk-Lift Support "How-To"
All of us have had our Thunderbird's trunk slam back down when we didn't want it to shut. The trunks weight can prevent you from keeping the trunk open on even a slight incline. Especially if you have installed a rear wing. A easy solution to this problem is to add gas charged lift supports like the 1994 Mustang uses. How do you add gas charged lift supports to you 1989-1997 Thunderbird?
Parts:
You need to purchase a pair of trunk gas charged lift supports for a 1994 Mustang which is available at your local parts house or from Five Star Ford. Prices will vary from $15-$25 dollars each.
Installation Instructions:
Next, Once you have the lift supports install them on each side of the trunk hinges and attach them to the screw that sticks down from the rear deck (see pictures)
On cars equipped with the JBL sub woofer you will only be able to install the drivers side lift. This will not completely lift the trunk when opened but will prevent it from shutting.
