Here is the torsional arm that will hold up the trunk, push the U shaped section towards the body/outside. Thar will give you some more slack for the following:


Here is a trim removal tool... worth every penny, and a 10mm wrench:
Remove the bolt on the hook with wrench and then use the trim removal tool to take off the hook and trim plug:

Now you should see this:

Make sure you sit inside trunk and make sure it is fully open,
Put your hand on the rod, push up and Pull the rod out and move to the upper slot.


EDIT: Do the same to both sides if a bit more tension is needed,

First you have to slide the Ushaped section towards the body on the opposite side.
Push up to releive the spring on the slot hole at the 90 deg. bent end and then pull out.
