Trunk lid tension adjustment
Hey guys, I added alittle weight to the trunk lid (lip spoiler and dynomat). the spoiler was ok but adding the dynomat weight it down even more now when i pop the trunk it doesn't swing upward. Is there anyway to adjust the trunk lid tension? thanks

I taken Mark advice and it was very simply to do. Removed side cover and adjust spring tension. thanks Mark![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

adjust one notches at a time til lid open freely and slowly. I moved both side all the way out and when the trunk button is depress the lid shot up like a sling shot![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
