Default Rear hatch hydralics don't hold up.

For a good long time my stock hydralics for the trunk held up with a three piece spoiler I installed 10 years ago. Now it doesn't stay up at certain seasons. Like winter. Summer it'll stay up. Not all three pieces weigh it down. Just the center piece and that probably weighs 2 pounds.

I even tried brand new hydralics from the dealer and they still don't hold up. Is there something in the market thats strong enough to hold heavier trunks?

Thanks guys, I tolerated this problem for too long.

Is it an aftermarket hatch? Anything extra weighing the hatch down?

No OEM. The wing is weighing it down. Cannot remove wing. Its molded on.

What I would do is go on Team-Integra.net and search about aftermarket dampers. See what comes up and go from there. I would go to the dealership and ask their opinion of what a possible replacement idea would be. If they tell you you need an appointment, don't waste your time.
