Civic EG

How's it going Civic-EG iv'e had my coupe for a while now and I was just wondering why my trunk wont fly open, it locks and unlocks just fine but I would have to hold the trunk up with my hand or wedge a bar in between the trunk and where the trunk sits, what could be a possible cause of this?

I think it has something to do with the dampers. Probably they aren't working right. I have the same problem with my sedan. I still have to pull the trunk lid up.

they are supposed to open on their own?

my coupe nor my sedan do. they both stay open just fine by themslves but they dont open on their own once popped

my coupe does lol, theres a couple bars/rods whatever you wanna call them that act as tensionsers I believe and my trunk about broke my nose the first time I opened it

Im gonna check those out and get back to you guys, you think replacing the trunk would fix the issue ?

Yes, my old coupe I would pull the trunk lever and the trunk would just fly open, the one I have now would only unlock

No need to replace the trunk, just the dampers.

I was looking online and bumped into this on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/141139807403?ss ... 1423.l2649

coupes dont have dampers like the hatches and sedans do.
