Hatch wont stay up

[groomsxxx]

Ive got the k1 body kit with the k1 spoiler. The extra weight of the spoiler wont let the hatch stay open, it was slamming down. Some of you on this site referred me to liftsupportsdepot.com and I had ordered a pair from them. They were recently installed and still do not keep the hatch open. So I am told that the Trd performance package uses a heavier spoiler and those lift supports are a higher pressure unit. Does anyone know how I can get these lift supports? any websites or what?

I have the same problem! But I have the TRD Wing... =/ It blows trying to get stuff out of my trunk.... I have a tight car, but it looks ghetto when I'm holdin my hatch.

[mrluilou]

can you show pics of your hatch?

[alpha Q]

wooden stick + hatch = no fall :thumbup:

I had the same problem with my spoiler.

I got my at springmasters.nl
I believe that they sent to the US.

The only problem is that you'll have to make some brackets for them as i did.

the ones from liftsupportsdepot are pretty damn strong. how heavy is your wing from stock? i have the regular oem stock wing though. you can go to the dealer. say you need the lift support for the trunk with the TRD action package spoiler. Part numbers are in the forum somewhere. they're about 150 each last time i heard.

The hatch doesnt slam down as hard..but its still close to the stock supports. Its not holding the hatch up.

these ones are 1.5 times as stong as stocks and bolt on.

Hmm, I wonder what SLVR_STEALTH uses for theirs.

You guys gotta realize that the K1 3-piece spoiler (the middle section) is heavier than the TRD spoiler.

hes not been online in months.

My celica is 7 years old now with the original oem TRD action package trunk shocks and never have I had an issue.

[StickyCh0pstick]

My celica has the stock regular spoiler and the hatch doesn't stay up. Doh! XD

[xCraZyEddiEx]

i have the rmm wing and i still have to use leverage to get it to close. i dont understand how heavy a spoiler can be.

[FriedChicken]

I haven't found a problem with shocks from liftsupportsdepot.com

Nevermind guys. I went and changed the position of the bracket. That freakin jackass had them backwards. Trunk stays up now.

Lol, at least it was an easy fix.

[hombredelassrta]

i removed my wing, wiper and wiper motor then it would stay up. i replaced it with a c.f hatch and stock shocks now it lifts itself up

[vtjkychan]

sniff, I installed the shocks upside down too when I helped my friend with his tC, for the hood though.

Suck that tC got so many cool accessories... compared to our celica =/
Anyways, thanks for all the links guys...
i think my shocks are dying too.

Yeah my friend has a Tc too, it's no wonder they sell faster than hotcakes. I'm happy to have the lighter and rarer Celica though! =D
