trunk that wont stay up!

[tonytoka1979]

Anyone know how to refreshen a worn out trunk lid? it will stay up, unless there is a stiff wind, or you dont get it completely in the up position.. i found this out with the huge knot on the back of my head when i was trying to get crap out of my trunk on a windy day..

Just double checking you have a coupe/sedan right

Then you need to replace the metal trunk springs underneth the rear deck. Spoiler eqquiped cars have stronger springs.

its a coupe with a spoiler but im getting ready to change it out for a lid with no spoiler.. where can you get the spring other then junk yards? i dunno if its just that the honda parts guy here locally is jerking me around and not wanting to get me parts because my car is so old or what but every time i go he tells me they don't have parts im looking for..

Your Honda dealer may not lying - Majestic's site shows "May Have Been Discontinued" for trunk springs. If you're going to change the trunk, just leave the heavier springs (does one have a red mark and the other have a yellow/green mark near one end?) in and they should lift the trunk without a spoiler (now you'll end up with an uppercut instead of a knock on the head). You have more than 30 posts so you could post in the "parts wanted" section of the classifieds.

92 Lx

they make a little blue pill for this problem.

You can fabricate your own spring. I believe the Option Spoiler Trunk Spring is 7mm and the Std. Trunk Spring is 6.5mm. You must use spring steel and must form it before sending it off to a pickeling oven. Once it is fabricated, have it powder coated to preserve all your hard work. I was looking into this in earnest before learning Honda still stocks all spring types for the 5th gen Accord. If I recall, your spring was too short to be used in my car (5th gen takes a 42 inch by 6.5 or 7 mm spring), but you may be able use the 5th gen spring in your car.

yeah i would think its your springs because i have a 92 lx also and my trunk stays up perfect and it takes a bit of wind for it to slam down
