Trunk Wont Stay Open After Its Lifts Up

Now it pops open nicely. Hood Buffer w/ejector vs Trunk Buffer w/ejector (really, you can't see the difference? SHIFT_ IMissmyHonduuuh. Originally Posted by SilverStreak. I dont know the difference and cant tell the difference. I put a luggage rack and it will not stay up. My trunk never stays up.

My Trunk Won't Stay Up Mean

In the mean-time, I'm going to attach a spring to the post that sticks out of the "arm" and to somewhere else so that it will hold the trunk open, but will stretch when the trunk closes, but I'd like to know a permanent solution to the problem. Believe it or not the spoiler does make a BIG difference. My trunk does the same thing, lemme know if you fix it. Ohh how I longed for a coupe.

My Trunk Won't Stay Up And Go

Hey man I have the same problem, My bar in the back that holds the trunk open had been warped by the speakers in the back deck, they were forced back there by some dumbass and now my trunk won't stay open, I hope someone has a solution. But i'm happy with my 4-door. I don't know how the 4 door setup is, but my hatch had the same problem. I noticed the new popper seems quite a bit stiffer than the others. Will it fit in my car trunk. If you get in the trunk looking up at the rear speaker magnets you will see some bars crossing from side to side, those are the springs that hold it up. 0 members and 1 guests).

Will It Fit In My Car Trunk

Moved the pics... Relinked. Most likely the spring has popped out, you may be able to find the spring and put it back together. I have seen this before on my Nissan Xterra many years ago. I got new struts and it does the same thing. Did your trunk ever stay up? My trunk won't stay up mean. Then, stop helping... Supposedly the trunk was opened quickly in freezing weather. It's not a conventional spring either, more like a twist beam type of thing. Use a golfclub, preferably a driver, its a perfect fit.

My Trunk Won't Stay Up Stay

If yours is a sedan it doesn't have shocks, only the hatch's do! Get in, Sit down, Shut up, and Hang on!!! Too bad i already bought struts! It's about time for me to replace mine ejected itself into the trunk lid a few weeks ago. It always falls and hits me on the head. I really want to know if there is a solution since I dont like having it not stay open.

Originally posted by frozen_Joth. The funny thing is I pulled both off the trunk and it doesn't close itself anymore! I thought u disappeared for a while. They seemed like they were in order. If I open the trunk then it will stay open, thats not the problem.

Good idea, but that'd be a pain in the ass to do. The bars in mine don't seem to be warped in any way, and as far as I can tell, they are secured properly, so I don't know what the problem could be. Ok, i went a looked at mine, one was working the other one was DEAD it did not have a spring. I also fixed 1 hood one and lubed them. 1999 BMW e36 328is with rotary valve engine head. There's no hatch struts. I assume when i press the fob or trunk switch it should open enough so that i can manually open it all the way. Oh missed that:P. I looked at those bar things. Yeah I felt the same way at first, and when I see the 2001 PY ITR with the jdm HID front end driving around town I still want to nut in my pants but the more I drive it the happier I am that mine is a bit different from most of the other teg's out there. It seems that each side of the trunklid has one of those bars attached to at towards the back of the car, which then crosses under the decklid towards the front and other side of the vehicle. My trunk won't stay up and go. Then they would collapse under the weight of the trunk. You did check the springs- or does it use pneumatics like the hatchbacks... No pneumatics.

Thats what i'm doing till i find someone that sells lift supports that aren't the StrongArm brand cuz those don't fit. When I looked, I didnt see any shocks that would hold it open, but of course I didnt look extensively. As the trunklid raises, these bars rotate and put some tension on the trunklid, keeping it raised. Check for breaks, bends, or to see if they have come disconnected on either side of the bars. I have to press the key fob again then it sucks it back down then i have to press it again to release while i lift up so it doesnt catch. Look there for what probably is a working example.
