And that was it.

Quick install Took it for a ride, first time ever without that rattle.

 

So while I was at it I added a plastic washer to the circlip on the top of the support. And a magnet there too. It tightened all that up. Then I said why do I even have this PITA on here and took that whole assembly off. Now I can raise and lower my trunk lid at will.

Anyways, another cure in the bank.
