Heavy trunk lid

[VAPORBLADE]

Now with the wing, and the under lid panel, I have a pretty heavy trunk lid. Anyway to keep it from slamming other than lowering it by hand really slow?!

[vr4boy]

you could maybe retrofit cabrio trunk shocks?

cant you also put the spring on the back notch? that should give you bit more resistance?

Oh man, dont you guys know there are different tension bars available from the dealer? Designed for trunks with wings etc, lol.

zomg WAS DAS FUCK?! 22 bucks? Okay. I guess that is a small price to pay for my door not to slam my hand.

I've thought about doing this, if I ever find one with the parts intact at a junk yard, I might try rigging it up. I don't have a problem with my trunk slamming, but it seems like it would be cool to have anyways.

Try moving the bars back a notch. Its free, and might make enough difference.

What did you end up doing??

[VAPORBLADE]

I moved the spring on both sides to the back tab. It helped a ton - but it is probably not quite enough. I will get a new rod at some point. For now - it is good.

not as cool as you might think, they make your trunklid sit uneven
