Trunk lifter question....

[SSMAccord]

My 1st car, '91 LX, came without a spoiler and when the trunk was opened either by key or interior lever the trunk would release and be open about 2-3 inches and remain that way until you actually lifted it completely open. My 91 EX came originally with a factory spoiler, which was replaced when I swapped trunk lids to get rid of the spoiler. Now that the trunk is swapped, when you unlock the trunk it FLIES open. ( it sent a couple of items flying past the front of the car) Is this due to the lifter mechanism that opens the trunk being different, spoiler equipped vs. non-spoiler equipped cars?

the trunk springs are for a deck lid with a spioler. they are heavy duty. you should trade trunk springs with the guy you got the deck lid from because now his deck lid will have a hard time opening

i got the trunk my trashed car, but that car's trunk still opened....come to think of it it only opened like an inch. oops, that car has been sent to salvage already, guess I'm gonna go and pick some up next week. I'm gonna evaporate trying to get some out.
