convertible hard boot

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.
