Procedure

  1. Park your Crossfire on level ground and set the parking brakes.
  2. Open the trunk and have a friend keep it open.
  3. Locate the left trunk support
  4. Use a flat screwdriver to push the C clip away from the ball joint
  5. Do the same for the other end
  6. Remove the worn trunk strut
  7. Install new Crossfire trunk struts in reverse order.
  8. Move the C clips down to lock them in place.

If your Chrysler Crossfire trunk won’t stay up or drops when open, it is time to change the trunk struts. These gas-filled lifts leak or wear as they age and fail to support the trunk lid.
