Actually, would that would make more sense if you just had a one strong one instead of two weaker shocks ?( kind of like e30 hoods)

One on each side.

One on each side here.

While we are on this subject, why would the shocks for the top cover die? Mine have been dead for years. Irritating considering the trunk has been open much more than the top cover.

Mine did too. ~50$ from BMA for a pair.

BTW, what the heck is that little cable that snakes from the storage area into the trunk?

My trunk has one (left side). And my top's cover shock is dead too =\

And that little cable is what unlatches the other side of the top's cover; it doesn't run into the trunk.. unless we're talking about different cables.

And since we keep going off topic... have any of you pulled the rubber plugs that conceal the rear shock mounts off? It maks a great stash spot (not that I've ever need to) :P

For 50.00 (good deal seen them for 70.00) I'll hold it for the 20 seconds I am dealing with it. lol

there's also another cable that attaches the trunk to the top cover so you can't open both at the same time.

Thats what i thought it was, it connects to the arm of the decklid
