trunk falls down

think you know this , but my trunk wont stay up, it fell on my head twice
i assume its the gass in the holders ( what do Ľou call them?)
The trunk also feels very heavy. i thought it would open automatically. it seems really heavy for one to have to open it by hand every time and for the prices of these cars you would think they would give you a automatic trunk. cheap **** cars have that option all the time

Yeah no wonder with the weight
The trunk weight is just ludicrous
My girlfriend needs help just to open it. Way too heavy. Not the weight I'm complaining of by the way I know why it's heavy,
What's ridiculous is the fact that it doesn't open automatically . Such a pricy car. One could get a Ferrari for the Price of a new 55 SL and you need to be a weight lifter to open the trunk . I don't know I'f it's an option at all. I don't remember MB offering it on this car. Even a ugly E class has the option
