Hey guys, I installed the WW spoiler a while back but this is my problem...when my car is tilt (like in a driveway) the trunk won't stay open because of the weight of the spoiler....anyone has a solution?....an idea? HELP ... I have a couple of stitches on my head from a jack knife of my trunk....

i think some poeple have new springs put in to hold the trunk open...it replaces the old one and they got it for them dealer...check the audio forums..i pretty sure its in there

this is me

HOw heavy is the WW spoiler?
I have OEM and it's fine.

i spoke to some a service manager about trunk not staying opened...but he told me there's nothing they can do , he told me theres no spring in our trunk...

so was he lying?

Hate it too. I just got my WW spoiler on last week and I've been clunked twice. Just don't hang out under and you should be fine. I love the wing, it's so smooth!

There are tensioners (sp?) that can be adjusted or replaced. That's why when you have a factory spoiler there aren't any problems.. b/c the dealer adjusts them to compensate for the weight of the spoiler. When you install a spoiler after you pick up the car you will have to adjust the tensioners yourself.

I picked up my TL with no spoiler.... picked up aftermarket that was identical for $205 painted. The springs i got from the dealer for $30 and he installed them for free cause he owed me a favor.

Its $30 for the high tension springs from the dealer, but you CANNOT put them in yourselves, unless you have the tool, or a death wish. Dealer was going to charge me $40 to put them in.
