Reset the control arms inside the trunk so that they are on the upper pegs...it will give them increased strength to raise your trunk.
You dont have to mess with any bolts, just wear a THICK pair of gloves and grab the bent down portion of the rod and slide it up to the next higest spot, but be careful there is a lot of tension and if you let go its really hard to get them back up. Don't try to adjust them with the trunk open though, put down the back seat back and work through the trunk that way there wont be half as much tension on the rods since they will not be holding the trunk up.
