On your original trunk arms - per side, one side has a pin that seats into a slot on the other side. If you look at it, the slot the pin rests in to keep the lid up gets worn. Modify the slot so that it deeper and does not allow the pin to slide out of the slot. Do this on both sides and you might have to do this more than once or twice. Test it without your head becoming involved .....
