Would new trunk shocks take away some of the pulling action required to open up the trunk? Curious to any one who has replaced theirs or knows from buying new.

I was watching a Doug D vid on the Chevy SS and it's boot hinges looked somewhat similar to the Gs and wondered if replacements would help ours. Not that its a big deal; only time I care is when its crap out (like now) and its messy.

No. New struts won't make it function like a power opening trunk, which should have been standard in this car.

You could see about ones that would be much more stiff, then perhaps the would lift a bit, doubtful though.

I've wondered this myself. 99% of the time I wish it would open all the way. The 1% is when I accidentally hit the button in my pocket and don't notice until the next day when I see the alert on the dash and I'm glad it didn't open all the way!
