I just went to open my trunk yesterday (something I rarely do since I only open it to show off my stereo, no room for storage ) and it fell right back down.

Are they weak because of the cold? Or has one/both just randomly failed?

Where's the best place to get new ones? CT?

Thanks guys.

I'd try CT like you mentioned.

Yep, likely b/c of the cold. Never priced them for the newer models, but dealer would be my guess.

Canadian Tire sells them they are like $35 each.

Thanks everyone.

I'll probably put off replacing them till spring since I rarely open it anyways.

Would it be the cold? I thought if anything the cold would make them stiffer?

either way, you can probobly buy a pair from CTC or any Ford dealership

Ya, I'm not too sure... maybe the cold caused the old seals to harden up and crack and leak or something...

I was surprised, one day they worked fine, next day opened it up and they had no lift left.

Went out an opened it up again yesterday, the driver's side one makes the "normal" sound, the passenger side one makes no sound at all, so I guess it's the dead one.

^Yep, leaking past the seals, work better in warm weather b/c the seals are more flexible and seal better.
