I just watched a video where when operating the top the hard boot stayed up, I need to hold mine up is there a known spring issue with C5 hard boots?

You need to replace a couple of struts.

Check this tread out.

I bought ACDelco from Amazon. P/N 510-991. Two required. Works great.

I replaced mine last year and thought the trunk was a different part number.

Yes, it looks like the convertible trunk P/N is ACDelco 510-992. Strongarm brand also shows different P/N for trunk. I may replace the ones in my trunk in the spring. The trunk only pops up about 1/2", barely enough to get your finger underneath it.

The correct Stabilus part number for the convertible boot lifts are SG430019. The ones in the thread will work for the trunk.
