wow thank you for finding that celica402 
forget a mop, get one of those yellow wiffle bats, it fits perfectly and long enough to get it almost fully open.
or just don't use the trunk at all..no problem to worry about.. lol ..
i have a question.., are these easy to change urself?
i just got two new shocks at a local kragen for $40. maybe you should give them a try. or see if anyones is parting out a celica and buy they're trunk shocks?
Kragen has them? can u give me part number of what u bought?
if u have trd spoiler..u might want to check the spec of them shock b4 buying them..they are different compare to stock spoiler..
There is a major hurdle. It's almost impossible to unscrew the ball bolts that connect the shocks to the hatch with an open wrench.Kore971 said:i have a question.., are these easy to change urself?
The easiest way is to saw them with a hacksaw. Then you'll be able to use a socket wrench to unscrew them.
i suggest u get an impact wrench
Odds are the trunk shocks need to be replaced. I'm guessing you didn't just add a spoiler or anything, because the added weight could be weighing it down. I know that in the cold weater, my trunk shocks don't work as well, but seeing how you live in CA, I doubt that's the problem.
It won't help at all.Celica402GTS said:i suggest u get an impact wrench
The ball bolt is made of soft steel. You need to unsrew it somehow. If it's inside the shock end, the only possibility is to use an open wrench, which will round the bolthead.
Auto zone has them for like 40$ a piece i think. I bought mine when I had the problem last winter off a member for like 45$. But god damn those ****ers are hard to get off.
