I've been having trouble finding this answer, but the 2 poles that hold up the hatchback on a 89 crx no longer work so I've been using a mop to hold it up. i went a junk yard and wasn't able to find a crx but i did find a honda hatchback i think it was a 92. would the suspension or shocks. (not sure of the proper name) would work on the crx?

 

are you talking about the struts...!!!

 

just go to autozone and ask for a set of replacements. the ones off of a 92 civic hatch are about half that length. from what i remember, perhaps if you could find a ford aerostar (mini van) you might find a set of hatch struts that work good and are the correct length? i think they were the same length... doesn't hurt to try.

bend them a little bit mine didnt work for a while and i just bent them both a little and they go up and stay up fine now lol, i think hes talking about the to rods or what ever that keep the hatch open when you open your trunk

 

yes it can work...if you are planning to do so please do that as fast as you can because this problem can give rise to other problems also.

 

I'm going to the junk yard tomorrow ill post the results if they are the same size
no I'm talking about the 2 rods that hold the hatch open.
I'm also changing out the climate controls with a civic eg climate controls because mine suffered that crack down the middle along with 2 buttons that dont work
