Just getting ready to replace the rollers on the rear trunk hinges (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) It looks like removing the trunk lid might make the job a bit easier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Any thing that I should know about before I start?

I am using them front and rear.

They work well, and aren't hard to install.

Only problem I had is in the front. They attach to the spring holders in the front. First time I closed my trunk they bent. I got a small aluminum tab and bolted it to the spring holder to thicken up and reinforce the mount. No flex since then.
