Try adjusting the little rubber grommets on either side of the bootlid guys, they should have a threaded end on them allowing you to bring them further out and soften the way the boot shuts

The bumpstops are there for adjustment to the fit of the decklid (flushness to the 1/4 panels) and to stop the decklid latch chucking on the striker.

There are two levels of decklid gas strut - D1 for XT/G6, and D2 for the heavier (read: spoilered/carpeted) models.

So all I can say is check that you have D2 struts (clearly written on them). If you do, that's as good as Ford will offer - there are solutions in the aftermarket.

Do you wanna tell the boys on the production line that? After 4 years in a dealer I was sick of doing it....

If you have the D2's and take your spoiler off, they are perfect.

It almost opens itself and YOU have to close it. no slam at all.

Me thinks Ford should have the D2 std, a D3 for the XR6 and D4 for the Gt with it's whopping ironing board.
