It seems to me that the the tensioning on the Trunk Lid on my 2018 may have gradually weakened over its 3 1/2 years. Currently, unless I lift the Lid so that its lip is at least 5 ft. from the ground, it will drop down to closure.
It's difficult to see from the back of the car, but there seems to be some kind of pinion arrangement on the inside of each arm, that is set to what looks like the least tension, and which perhaps can be adjusted, but I'm apprehensive about trying to change it, given the stresses on the arms that could spring away, and risk cause some damage or injury.
I'm hoping that someone else on the forum has been through this adjustment already, or has some insight whether it can be done without any special tools, or should be left for the dealer to do.
