I just got this spoiler from Wing west install yesterday.
And now the trunk wont stay open.
Seems like the spoiler made the trunk heavier.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I looks in the trunk, I don't see any spring to hold the trunk open.

 

The springs are the two metal rods running accross under the subwoofer. YOu will probably need bigger rods for it to stay open.

 

Where can I get the bigger one from?
And how much do you think?

 

Unfortunately the dealership is the only place that carries the stronger truck rod springs.

 

And also get a bodyshop or someone that knows to put them on for you.Ive heard that theyre under great tension and can be dangerous.

 

Try acuraoemparts.com or oemacuraparts.com. There's also acuraautomotiveparts.org Good luck!

 

I got a quote from my Acura dealer for $35.00 for the heavy duty tension rods. But you may find them cheaper online.

 

Do you think I can replace it myself or I need to bring it to dealership?

 

well ive heard people saying it was easy... but you have to be careful.. if i were u.. i would rather just pay the couple of bucks to get it installed.. i heard it was dangerous as well..

 

Does anybody knows if the honda accord trunk spring interchangeable with 2nd gen TL.
The closest Acura dealership is about 1 1/2 hours away from me.
But there have 2 Honda dealership on local.

 

call em and ask. worth 5 mins of your time

 

If you get the parts on-line, the Honda dealer should be able to install them.

I guess the Honda dealer might be able to get the part too.

 

Where at online?
I went to acura website and dealership website, both I couldn't find it.

 

call your dealer and get teh part #

and order it

 

I just called both of those and they said they don't sell the rod spring seperatetly.
The rod spring came with the spoiler as a kit.
They said if I have to buy the whole kit.

But the weird thing is, I called courtesy acura over Orlando.
They say I can buy the rod spring seperatetly for 99 TL model.
I know 99-03 basically is the same car.
I don't know why they sell just for the 99.

 

I know you can buy it separately, many members have.
