Fitted 1.5 springs onto each rear hatch support to provide a decent "pop" of the rear hatch when using the dash release button or key FOB button.

Re dyed black leather interior, i kept getting these blue splotches all over the place. Some leather dye and a 3 hours later back to black. Its a little shiny but it better than looking like dalmatian seats.

There is at least one thread where several sources for the springs are mentioned. I purchased the springs on Ebay.

Here are some dimensions that may help you source them: Spring ID: ~15mm Uncompressed Length of 1 Spring: ~85mm Uncompressed Length of Combined 1.5 Springs: ~130mm The approximate 130mm length yields approximate full spring compression, also known as fully "stacked", when the hatch is closed. The ~15mm ID may need some persuasion to thread over the ball end of the hatch strut. Consider wearing gloves and safety glasses during this installation process. Your results may vary. :dunno: Mike |
