    Dude....I can send you info on a lil device that I attribute to NorwegianRT....It's a 3d printed device (I paid $14.90 shipped to my house) that goes on the opposite side of the strut to hold up the trunk. It falls into place when lifted then you simply knock it back in ....you'll need a nut and bolt that are laying around in your garage. Norwegian RT sent me the file and I contacted a 3d internet company.

    This is for my 2020 RT limited.
    Go to McMaster Carr website and do a search there. They have all different kinds and are reasonable and shipping is very fast.

    Replacing the gas strut is pretty easy on the 2020. Takes about 10 minutes. You remove the two screws inside the trunk that hold the backrest on. (Circled in red) The backrest lifts straight up. Once you get that off, the strut is easy to get to. You have to remove the bottom 1st then the lid will swing up high enough to get to the upper bolt. I am going to try adding a spring that fits over the strut.
