There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Any 'How To' advice on 2020 Trunk lid strut replacement?

I've taken mine off right after I got it to see what the problem with the strut was. It's just too weak. I watched a video online but can't find it now. I have not found a stronger replacement yet. It isn't that hard to do, but until someone can come up with a stronger strut, I am just propping it open. I know this doesn't help you take it off but may save you time and $'s.
Changing the strut is easy. Just remove the 2 screws in the trunk that hold the passenger back rest on, remove the back rest, unclip the bottom of the strut, then lift the lid to expose the upper bolt, remove bolt and remove strut. Problem is, the new strut won't last very long, if at all. And for $70 it just isn't worth it. I put a spring on my failing strut as mentioned in another post

I am having the same issue with the top case strut. I thought it was always like that but I don't ever remember it almost slamming on my head after opening. That happened the other day. I caught it before it did. I bought springs (from someone's idea in another topic) for my seat because with the sheepskin on, it won't stay up, so I'll use the 2nd one I have for the top case.
