One of the (rare) annoying things in my newly acquired SL is the fact that the boot (trunk) lid doesn't want to stay fully open.

It tends to want to drop to a half-way position and stay there.

On the other hand, the convertible top cover would not stay up all by itself either. This one simply wants to shut completley.

I am told that they are related (in terms of springing).

Anyone familiar with the matter?

Anyone prepared to give me a hand at fixing it?
