s13 trunk tension rods

Anyone know how to install these? I had to replace mine should've snapped a pic of the old ones before I removed them The FSM is no help either, anyone have a detailed pic of them installed?

Oh, they are pretty easy, someone took his out before he bought it... they are called springs. haha but put one in and it believe there are 4 hooks they go in, 2 on each side..and they criss cross, its been awhile since i did it, but wear goggles and bend the second one into place with a prybar or screw driver.
