If you are standing outside the car how does a strap inside the trunk aid in shutting it??? I usually enter and exit through the doors.

I have an '05 Coupe and this is what I do:

The latch that is in the center of the trunk (the piece that fits into the lock part and is covered by a piece of black plastic) - I just grab that with both hands and pull down on that. As the trunk is about to close I let go. This way I don't put my hands on any portion of the paint.

My trunk closes itself. I bring it down to around 10 inches from being closed. Then let go and it drops shut. I added the spoiler after I bought the car, so I wonder if the shocks are lighter on trunks without factory spoiler.

This is a good idea, but those plastic pins will probably fail soon from the repeated shear loading.
