Trunk hold open

One of the annoying things (for me) is that when I'm getting things from the trunk it doesnt stay open long enough. If I take too long removing items from the trunk it keeps wanting to close and I keep having to push the open button every 10 seconds. Is there a way to lock it in open position until Im ready to close it?

your trunk shocks are bad. Right now all of the strain is being put on the trunk motor to hold it open.
