Was it staying up before and now doesn't? If so, then a replacement strut should solve that problem.
Has it never stayed up as long as you've had it? Then, consider adding a strut to the other side so there are two doing the job.

Honey, do you have anything mounted on the trunk lid? if not you can just replace the one or possibly adjust the mounting point. If you have added a luggage rack or something to the trunk lid that weighs it down, you might need to add a second gas strut
Here's a link to an earlier discussion Trunk replacement shock on RT trunk

Check with your Local NAPA Auto Parts Store. May need to Google 'NAPA' for your nearest Store. Definitely A Much Better Price Option.

Drill a hole about 3/4" above the original strut mounting hole and remount the strut. Cost -----ZERO. Works perfect with the rack mounted.
