Upon accessing the trunk, i have been struck on the back of the head numerous times because the trunk lid does not stay up upon opening.

Trunk lid does not stay open all the way unless it is pushed and locked into place. Could knock someone out if you forget to do this. Never seen a design like this. Vw should address and fix this hazard.
