Why Lid Stays Are Essential

Without a lid stay, trunk lids can fall backward uncontrolled, putting excessive stress on the hinges, mounting screws, and trunk structure. This can lead to torn wood, broken hinges, and damaged hardware. A properly installed lid stay keeps the lid at the perfect angle for safe access while protecting your investment.
