Ok im in the process of installing my trunk springs that I broke last week. But I cant seem to get them on right. I need someone to take a pic of this for me please...



I need a picture of how the hooks on the end of the two bars hook onto the trunk arm. If you could take a picture of both sides please that would be great.

if you dont knkow what way they go on then dont experiment, these are very dangerous, and my body shop put mine on wrong and it screwed it up so that it doesnt really open much anymore. sorry, i would take a pic of mine, but they were installed wrong

klepto

how much you think the dealership will charge me to get these suckers on?

wakeboardfusion

i have no clue, they did mine when i got my trunk repainted from a wreck, the dealership was the one that screwed mine up. do you have the tool to do it or are you just using the back side of a hammer?

The dealer will charge you money to get anything done. They wanted $150 to put my stock stereo back in, a job I did in 3 minutes.
Speaking of putting things back on, anyone want to help me take off and put my bumper back on properly?

klepto

id do it myself, but aparently I cant and its hurting my damn back cause im like bent over half in there with the heavy ass trunk pushing down on my back. Cant really find a good prop for it plus im scared that the prop will break and the trunk will fall and gullitione my head off.

hrmm i'll call the stealership on mon and see wassup, but in the meantime anyone else got some pics?

thanks lnsyone, I put mine in like that, but its not tight, the hooks fall out, I think i have to like bend them and hammer them in or somethign but im afraid I might snap something Cause i remember these things were in TIGHT.

lnsyone

unfortunately i have no experience or idea how to re/install those. i say, keep lookin around and see if someone can give you advice about their personal experiences with that. if you turn up with nothing, then i think you should have the dealer fix it for you; rather than tampering with it and having it break or malfunction (ive had my fair share of those).

Klep, are you putting them in with the trunk open or closed? That makes a difference.

klepto

i tried it with the trunk fully opened, and then halfway open

try swpaping the bars maybe you have them swapped

just an idea

klepto

I did, they line up and everything, but they arent in tight, adn they dont work (they dont hold up the trunk, etc)

I just called up the stealership. They want $105. WTF

dude srew that price .... anyways Klepto make sure that you have them in the seperator clip in the middle. and make sure that they are criss crossed.
