Hey, gang!
Was tinkering with my '04 Convertible today. Decided to put the top down and discovered that the struts that hold the tonneau cover upright when doing so had weakened to the point where they were basically useless; so they need to be replaced. A quick (i.e., not comprehensive) examination of the assembly/attach points did not reveal an obvious way to remove them; they're tucked up under the trunk's rain gutter and I'm not seeing how to get at them from any readily-available direction. Any DIY instructions around the forum for this operation? A quick search did not reveal anything to me. I guess I'm just not having much luck today when looking for things... :eyerole
Any suggestions for replacement parts/sources would be appreciated as well. Thanks!
