Trunk Lid Spring

My trunk lid spring has always been relatively weak. Recently, it's started to fall on the slightest wind that hits it, landing on my head more times than I would like to admit....
I have a 2010 TL SH AWD Tech, so it has the camera and spoiler.

Does anybody know if they have any updated parts that use stronger torsion springs? This is all i could find...

Maybe it's just worn out over time (6 years) and replacing them would fix it

For sure they're definitely more worn than 6 years ago. I should've mentioned that they've been relatively weak since new, but it's been really bad the past few months. I brought it in when the car was 2 years old to see if they could adjust it, they just said it was "normal". I'd rather have a stronger spring in there anyways.

Those are the strongest torsion springs that acura has for the 4G. Be careful replacing them, they can easily break bones! Theres a tool that dealerships use to replace them to avoid injuries, might be worth it for them to do it.
