trunk lid heavy
i have the sedan and i got the spoiler put on at the dealership and the trunk lid is heavy. i think they didn't change the springs for the trunk lids. when i open it i have to push it up all the way or else it falls. does anyone else have this problem?

Nope..... like my trunk cleeeaaaannnnnnn
No spoiler is the shizzy.
Actually arent those on the gas strut assembly?
If not maybe you should look into a set.

make sure the dealership installed the heavy duty trunk springs...it's like a $16 kit. My Coupe is kinda like that...the trunk doesn't stay up by itself unless it's all the way up or 4/5 of the way up.
Nightshade, no Honda sedan trunk has gas struts. Everything has gooseneck hinges.

Springs
You know, I put the heavy springs in my trunk, but they didn't completely work until I put them in the second, tighter setting. The easiest way I've found is to use the tool I bought from the dealer for $6.
