              FAQ<\/h4>\n
              \nDoes this convert the trunk to electric operation?<\/summary>\n

              It is a mechanical support rod with an external spring, not an electric actuator or complete powered-trunk retrofit.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

              \nWhat is included?<\/summary>\n

              One support rod, stainless steel washers and installation instructions.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

              \nCan I rely on the trunk opening fully by itself?<\/summary>\n

              No. Lid movement depends on the vehicle; automatic full opening is not assured.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
