sarjo Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Has anyone seen a car with such a heavy spoiler, it cant keep the boot lid open on its own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Yeah, the Toyota Celica (new model) is prone to this, due to Toyota fitting crappy strutts with the stock spoiler added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 not so much a heavy spoiler but a knackered gas strut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesupratt Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Not a production one, but seen a few aftermarkets and custom/modified spoilers that are obscenely heavy on a few cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarjo Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 not so much a heavy spoiler but a knackered gas strut Thats what I thought, but have been 'reliably' informed that some spoilers are too heavy to go on the boot!! I have seen some that have ridiculously too large for the car spoilers with the boot open, and wonder how they manage it!! Can you get improved gas struts?

Guest gzaerojon Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 gas struts are funny things, if you uprate them you run the risk of dammaging the brackets/hinges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
