does it have gas struts on either side?could be your problem

Not vehicle specific. Most lids are held up with a locking mechanism, where you have to raise it to lower it, or gas struts, where you pull it down. look to the sides, they both can lock the same. If you have never needed to rais it further to lower it, you will have gas struts, usually black larger cylinder with chrome smaller diameter section. Some have one some have two. replace it or them. Usually clipped on, but could be bolted.
