1998 Acura Integra GSR (SOLD). Originally posted by frozen_Joth. It was hard to lift open and it would never stay up properly. My trunk does the same thing, lemme know if you fix it. This is really annoying now.

My Trunk Won't Stay Up And Back
I'll take a look at mine tomorrow and let you know for sure. Good luck fixing it. I dont know the difference and cant tell the difference. It can be a bear when the hood gets stuck closed because the ejector buttons have stopped working. Good idea, but that'd be a pain in the ass to do. I wanna install struts to keep the trunk up. The trunklid must have come disconnected from one of those. I have no clue as to why it just won't stay up. 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. The problem has to be in one or both of those bars. But i'm happy with my 4-door.
If My Trunk Was That Small
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. 2006 Nissan Maxima SE 6-Speed. It costed me $75 a shock. I put a luggage rack and it will not stay up. The ones that I bought at the dealership new about 1/2 year ago are gray though. 01 CL type-S black on black. Now it pops open nicely.
My Trunk Won't Stay Up Paddle
You know Ive had this problem with mine since I got it way back when. I assume when i press the fob or trunk switch it should open enough so that i can manually open it all the way. Something is probably wrong with the springs like doc said. Current fleet: 1999 BMW e36 M3. If not then you might want to check into that. When I looked, I didnt see any shocks that would hold it open, but of course I didnt look extensively. It didn't have auto open or close but it won't stay up when it is cold outside.
Trunks You Need To Be Stopped
I got new struts and it does the same thing. Actually, now that I think about it, that coat-hanger served multiple purposes today... Moved the pics... Relinked. My trunk never stays up.
My Trunk Won't Stay Up Call
Personally I have a 2 door so if I ever have that problem it would be an easy fix to just replace the struts there. As seabeach740 said you need to look at the bumper stops and if at least one is not springy then twist them out and investigate. I don't know how the 4 door setup is, but my hatch had the same problem. 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. 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. As I was installing the stereo in the sedan today, The trunk lid kept falling on my head until I rigged up a latch using a coat-hanger. Hood Buffer w/ejector vs Trunk Buffer w/ejector (really, you can't see the difference? Complete Turnkey Diagnostic/Programming systems for details. One side is attached to the little post that sticks out from the curve in the hinge, and the other is attached to some kind of plastic clip up in the corner of the trunk. Then, stop helping...
My Trunk Won't Stay Up And Go
If anyone is interested, I will find the link that gives you a parts list and instructions to just get rid of those bars and use the gas struts, like the hatchbacks use. 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. Most likely the spring has popped out, you may be able to find the spring and put it back together. Thats what i'm doing till i find someone that sells lift supports that aren't the StrongArm brand cuz those don't fit. Those two beams move as you raise and lower the trunk, they are basically torsion beams. That should solve the problem.
I don't understand what else could be wrong. 1999 Civic Si -- FBP. Easy to verify; When it opens, help it by lifting manually about 2-4kg of thrust, help it holding position when it is fully open, observe that it will stay there. It is really simple, it was originally made to be for the 7th gen civics because those bars are in the way of any aftermarket speakers, but it could be easily done on the 4th gen civics. With mine I can open it on the first try if I'm holding onto the trunk and lift exactly when it releases. Look for the springs as many people have said. The best solution is to go to Acura, let them look at it, and have them replace the shocks (or whatever is broken). Plus, our rear decklid acts as a factory rear strut tower brace! There are two of them crossing over each other. 07-11-2003, 12:54 AM. Round base with a round, smaller cylinder that should be sticking out. Easy to replace, but you might be able to fix them for a while by just lubricating them. 2003 540i sport: 81k, Sterling grey/grey, MKIV Nav, PDC & CWP - Added license plate backup camera with "on demand" switch, paddle shift steering wheel, windows up/sunroof close via remote, Akebono's, painted calipers with "BMW" lettering, quad brake lights, iPod audio via AUX mode/video via 16x9 screen, BMW TV tuner, ///M pedals & gauge rings.
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. Happened to be in the city and stopped by the dealership. 1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight. That saves me 50 bucks! Thats what it sounds like to me.
Yeah, either that, or it would be cool to throw some linear actuators and a trunk pop on there and have it open by itself. Most of the bumper stops are BLACK! It's not a conventional spring either, more like a twist beam type of thing. They seemed like they were in order. I'm not sure how the 4 doors are. Don't look for springs - there are "bumper stops" that get stuck in the down position that you need to find. It's hard to ask around for sedan specific stuff. Please register, spot, and help the project. Make sure they are both connected to the arms. That time, the gas struts need to be replaced and were no longer holding up the hatch. You should know that by being a racing driver, you are under risk all the time. Oh missed that:P. I looked at those bar things.
As all of the oil had drained through the seals the shock lacked lubrication and made it really difficult to lift. If you pull back the carpeting, you can see a little plastic thingy attatched to the top of the inside of the trunk side, and the bunjee clipped in there nicely. Looking for: Jeep Comanche Sport Truck 4. Here's what I did as a band-aid fix: I did this on both sides using a small bunjee cord. Look there for what probably is a working example. Ok, i went a looked at mine, one was working the other one was DEAD it did not have a spring. Maybe besides breaking they also loose tension. I have seen this before on my Nissan Xterra many years ago. I really want to know if there is a solution since I dont like having it not stay open.
It doens't weight a lot but since it's on the very edge of the hatch/trunk it's leverage and evern the smallest weight can put force on it.. my hatch never liked opening after the winter, and wehn i took the spoiler off it would fly the fuck up.
