in this pic, to the far right of the pic, you'll see a small threaded hole. This is where the small spring bolts to.

The interior needs to be gutted, to remove the corner shelf panels, to attach those straps (they attach one stud back from the front studs)

Sit in the car, you'll see a large spring. now feel under that spring, hidden out of sight behind the top frame, you'll find a smaller spring that should be taught. Is it?
