Lazy man advice here, take a pair of oil filter clamps separate them use the curly curl to lever the torsion rod onto the second latch. No need to remove trim. This video was very useful, thanks

So how do you take it off and why 2 people job? I use a 6-8 inch piece of pipe that is just big enough to fit over rod. only thing on the car more dangerous is the coil sprigs in front end. Had one brake the window and fly 30 ft once.

Thanks for the video . I got ding on the driverside of the filler panel for that rod, guess it had slipped an knocked the panel at som time, the spring wil barley hold the trunk open. A shligth wind breeaze and it shuts by itself
