Trunk struts on hatch - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #54814 14 posts Started by Stogbob
Hey just wondering where I can buy new trunk struts for my hatchback. Would my best bet be local Toyota dealership?

Thanks in advance.

(Don't know if this should be in the buy/sell section, sorry if it should be)
Advanced Auto Parts.. i think they're $20 each

Breaking Axles...
if ur looking for used u should probly post in the fs wtb section...

BANNED. for life, you moron.
also my hatch lever is broken when i pull up to pop it i have to play around for like 5 minutes until it finally catches...will this require a whole new trunk latch assembly?
do u guyz have the problem when u pop the trunk for the inside,then get out of the car and shut the door the doors vibration shuts the trunk(the trunk isn't fully open just in the popped position)?Or is my car just special?

Nope - that happened on my last 6GC. I fixed it by adding washers under the 2 rubber stops that keep the hatch from hitting metal to metal when you close it [I have no idea what they are called]. That fixed it and shouldn't cost you more than a few dollars at Walmart.
