Re: Trunk Lift and Rear Door handles

<< Hello all.  Ever since I got my car 3 years ago my trunk has had no
 hydraulic lift.  You have to hold the trunk up while getting anything out
 of the trunk otherwise it will just fall on you.
 
 I have looked and looked and never found a replacement lift for it.  Has
 anyone replaced theirs?  Where do you get a new one?  All of the auto parts
 stores around here have a book and it says 5000 and there is never a 4000.
 What do I do?
 
 Also, has anyone ever had problem with door handles not wanting to open?
 Both of my back doors are very hard to open.  Feels like the springs in
 them are worn out or something.  Any ideas or similar situations?

Rob,

Try IPC (Import Parts Connection) 1-800-472-1144 for the trunk cartridges.  I
got a pair for $59.00 from Rod Ramsey at IPC.  A bit tricky but still very
easy to install.  They also have the door handles ~$28.00 for the rears if my
memory serves me well.

Good Luck.
