My deck lid not staying up like it should, it almost does, do I need to replace 2 or get by with just one ( I guess I'm just tight)

You need two.

Be sure to compare the pricing you see locally with what is shown on rockauto.com

Absolutely positively to be replaced in pairs! Also check your trunk for leaks around these support strut brackets. Notorious places for drips. Junkyard run today. Riv just showed up and I need to grab a power antenna.

Does that Riv have the stainless wheel arches? I could use the fronts.

Educate me. What's a wheel arch? It's a '97 and I may have to push this trip back to Sunday.

I'm sure he's referring to the "chrome" trim around the wheel well. I'm not sure what they're usually made of myself.

The shiny trim that attaches to the fender and is in the shape of an arch is what he's looking for.
They can be polished stainless steel or chrome metal.

Every time I read posts like this one where you guys need parts I kick myself in the butt for getting rid of my car as I could be pulling good parts off it and shipping to Y'all

I do have a good used power antenna I bought a long time ago as a spare in case I needed one.
The only problem is it's probably in my storage container that is not accessible right now due to snow and freezing temps as well as back pain that will prevent me from opening the doors on this steel shipping container. So your better off getting it from the boneyard if they have one that works and you need it quickly.
If that doesn't work out for you let me know by emailing me and I'll try to get it out after the weekend with some help from my BIL.

I kind of had an idea that’s what you were looking for, but I wanted to be specific. I’ll be heading to the junkyard tomorrow, and it will be on my list of things to get. I’ll let you know if they’re in decent shape and pull him if I can. Merry Christmas

If you can PM me a good email address, perhaps I can send you a photo of what you're looking for. Regards, Christen
