Default Trunk Lid - 1996 Millenia

The two rods that hold the trunk lid up when opened have lost their compression. Any idea where to get new ones and do you know if they are easy or hard to install?

If they're pneumatic/gas struts, a parts store usually has universal ones in stock. You will have to take one off and take it in to be compared. These aren't usually that hard to install.
If they are the torsion spring type, a dealer is probably your only hope... that I know of. This type can be a bitch to get lined up, stressed and in the correct holes, but I've done them myself on Chrysler products before, and I'm only 145lbs so it can be done.
