Just before I stored the car for winter I noticed that when the trunk was fully opened it would just sink back down and not stay open.
I have had the car since it came out in 2001 and have not heard of this from issue from anyone
Any ideas?

Apparently this happens with age for struts like this, especially ones that support a fair amount of weight.
On my last visit to the dealer before my warranty expired at the 4 year mark I reported that the trunk lid was not being supported as well as when the car was new, and the struts were replaced at no charge under warranty.
I guess in 4 more years I'm on my own.
