I have 2 88 Verts sitting in my driveway - my old white on has S5 Pieces - dash, stereo surround/vent, shifter surround.

It's trunk stays open great.

The earlier red vert has S4 pieces everywhere, and it's trunk closes way too easily.

So, i figured I'd just swap trunk shocks and Ol' Red would have a good working trunk.

I did, but the red one still takes no pressure whatsoever to close!

Did Mazda make some trunk lids out of steel and some out of aluminum?

I know, I know, stick a magnet on it and see - I am going to do that now, but I thought I'd see if anyone had any other ideas.

I don't think there are springs on the hinges?

OK, both trunks are steel. Ideas?

 

They are all steel and are all interchangable.

 

OK, but why does the white one stay open by itself, when I put my boot on top, and the red one doesn't no matter which set of trunk shocks I use?

I know red pait is probally heavier than white, but not THAT much heavier
