I just have to say that the way the trunk lid closes on these cars is fabulous! The sound it makes and the way it feels like it's being sucked down is just unlike any other car I've ever seen...
It just makes the car feel and seem so SOLID!
Just another way that the Reatta Rocks...
This is one of those things that will crop up on cars with rust issues. If the car is otherwise clean, I doubt there is any issue. Essentially a winter and or year around driver in the rust belt will need fuel and brake lines in the rear and cradle, sway bar and reaction rod service or replacement. Just a fact of life😕
Glad you are not hurt. Like Ronnie says that could have been bad.
Maybe a Gibson's run? The Reatta that kdirk and I stripped was a low mileage car. That rod should be good.
I need some parts myself.
