they are only tight when you open the trunk! when you shut it they just hang there! They are loose thats what causes the rattle, so im wondering if i remove them will it affect the way my trunk opens and closes?

If you remove them you will not be able to open your trunk. Well actually you will but you will have to lift it up manually. And the trunk weighs a lot. Those bars are what helps the trunk lift with ease.

aight i removed the bars and the only problem that there is with this the trunk lid will not stay open on its own so you have to prop it open or hold it open it is a pain in the ass but i mean it did stop a lot of the rattling

those are trunk springs to keep the lid open. one way to keep the rattling down is to stick some carpet in between the bars

is there a thread that tells how to adjust those things if you didn't have a spoiler and then put one on? Cause I did that and now I almost bust my head open all the time

If not anyone know how?
