SedanS trunk adjustment
Is there anyway to adjust the spring tension on
the trunk to help it stay open?  While parked on a incline, I was getting groceries out and I leaned on the bumper a little then the trunk shut and hit me on the head. Any suggestions on adjustments? Thanks |

There is a thread here on users changing the air struts that hold the trunk up. With stronger ones. Makes it tougher to close but holds the trunk up more sturdily.

Mine are fine. If I recall it is a torsion spring arrangement. Try removing and bending the spring(s) to add more pre-load.

Good thread lol...Thought this was a funny problem to have until one day while parked in the driveway the trunk came down and nailed me in the head resulting in a nice gash and 5 staples.. Be careful guys this thing can be dangerous!!

I found a couple videos on youtube which are for the camry but might work for the yaris. It consists of a large rubber band and a couple hooks.
Heres a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySOq_6Y7ciE |
