 I've adjusted them (by switching holes) so that there is maximum spring force
 on the trunk lid, but on anything other than a flat surface, the lid closes

 me.  :-(  Anybody else have this problem, and find a fix?  >>

Our Milano came from the PO with an extra weight on the trunk lid: the Zender 
spoiler he'd added, which is still there.  He was kind enough to include in 
the deal a short length of mop handle he'd custom-crafted to hold up the lid. 
 On ours, too, if we're stopped on anything less than level ground, or if 
there is a breeze, the lid comes down on the back of the skull.  BTW, this 
isn't the only car we've had, or the only make, with this quirk: once I was 
rendered nearly unconscious by a Honda Accord.
