Question My trunk is too heavy?

I was just wondering how to adjust the trunk tensioners in my trunk. I have the stock spoiler on it and the trunk doesn't seem to be able to hold the weight. I cringe everytime my gf slams the trunk.

Hehe. I've been saving this thread for when I add a spoiler, just in case. Seems like you may find it useful too. Props to Dex.

I thought it was just the way the car was. Everytime I parked on an incline, the trunk wouldn't stay up, and I don't have a spoiler. Thanks for the info. Provided your trunk is empty, shouldn't take more than 3 mins.

Perfect.

With the spoiler and new fiberglassed trunk lid, I have a hard time too. Great find. Props to Dex for the pics and Neo for saving it.
