SNAP! Went one of the trunk lid springs on my '97 Accord.

Now the trunk doesn't "spring" open and doesn't stay up - and realized how heavy it was!

Anyone replaced one already? It seems an easy task, though I haven't been able to source a part yet - all surplus shops I've been to say that it doesn't come with the trunk when they purchase it. Where could it be sourced? Estimated cost?

If I can't source one, would it be possible to put a "hydraulic arm" (like the one they use on hoods) to hold up the trunk? Estimated cost as well and where to source/have installed?

Thanks friends!
