Chevrolet: Malibu Trunk Lid

Darn, I managed to knock the metal rod that tensions the trunk lid
that allows lid to open on it's own. I tried to put it back on but
with no success. Seems a b*tch of a job.

Any tips/tricks to getting the rod hooked back on?

Thanks

I used a pry bar (20 lb version -> good leverage), but I wrapped the
forked end (for pulling big nails/spikes) with electrical tape so I
wouldn't give Auntie Rust another place to start. Don't forget to eat
a can of spinach first...it's a b*&^h of a job. Just watch you don't
let the end of the tension rod "catch" one of the notches while you're
prying, or it'll bend and that's all she wrote.
