If u problem is sagging front door, replace the pin & bearing. Or put a thin shim under the lower hinge: loosen 2bolts, raise the door, put shims under both, tighten...

When it sags, it sticks. All ? b/c theres a stick in the B-pillar. When door is level, never touches the stick and wont stick...

My trunk and many other maxs trunks have a poping noise when they are shut it has to do with the tennsion bars.

I have oiled them and fiddled with then with no luck

It is not simple oil that solves this (that I am sure of)

Thanks for any replys

the shocks that fit to hold the trunk up don't last very long. I replaced mine a few years back to gain more room under the rear deck for stereo stuff.
after about a year, those shocks would no longer hold the lid up. now every time I get in the trunk, I have to prop the lid up with a stick.
