How to Fix a Trunk That Won't Stay Open - Honda Accord
I've had to fix the same issue twice so far on this car, and after some brief research online I have found out that this is a fairly common thing to happen with the trunk. So, I've deiced to make this D.I.Y. video in hopes that it helps someone; since I know how annoying it can be to deal with a trunk that won't stay open... and worst of all... when it fell on my head (ouch!).
The reason why the trunk wasn't functioning properly is that one of the torsion bars / springs was broken. In this video I show you step by step on how to replace the torsion bar(s).
I hope you find this video helpful.

Very helpful and appreciate your putting this video together. My trucks spring broke in the exact same way as yours did!

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to hear you found this video helpful. It’s really not fun when the trunk falls down on my head. 🤕

I just fixed my Accord's trunk and thanks to your suggestion to use vice grips it was not hard at all to do. Thanks!!

No problem! Wow, that is a lot. A good reason to replace it yourself. 🙂

Thanks for this video. Picking the same bar and clip up from Honda dealership this week to install. They always break.

@carkingspot3973 Год назад

I agree. This was the second time I had to replace them.

@waltercsuf3263 Год назад

Thanks for doing this. Useful information. I have a Dodge Stratus but it looks like a similar setup.

@carkingspot3973 Год назад

No problem. Happy to hear that you found this video helpful. It’s a very common mechanism for a trunk, so it’s very likely that the trunk on your Dodge Stratus functions the same way. Good luck 👍

@jeffcarbello9115 Год назад

Odd the Honda diagram shows the 74871 (R) installing the opposite of how you did it. That is, it hooks on the right passenger and then driver side its put into that torsion clip using pliers or vice grips

@carkingspot3973 Год назад

That’s interesting. I guess there’s different ways to do it. Thanks for sharing this.

@ialnevets Год назад

Thanks for the video. When you install the bar, do you have the trunk fully Open or Close for easier installation? I am fearing if I did it wrong, I might bust my new bars again. Your advise is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

@carkingspot3973 Год назад

Not a problem at all. I did it with the trunk fully open. Good luck 👍

@punekanu Год назад

I ordered these parts and installed the springs, but the trunk still falls down without offering any resistance. I am not sure where installation went wrong. Parts that I ordered for 2012: Honda Clip Trunk Opener Spring 74873-TA0-003 SPRING, L. TRUNK OPENER 74872-TA0-G00 SPRING, R. TRUNK OPENER 74871-TA0-G00 What does it costs to get this fixed by Honda service center ?

@carkingspot3973 Год назад

I’m not really what could be the problem. I would recommend looking over to see if everything was installed correctly. Maybe the torsion bars you purchased have a defect. I’ve replaced those bars twice on the same car, and each time the result was a little different. The second time I replaced them it doesn’t hold up the trunk as well as when I replaced them the first time. Maybe you can exchange those bars for a new set and see if it makes any difference. I hope you get it fixed. Best!

what engine oil do you use for the accord

@carkingspot3973 11 месяцев назад

Mobil 1 : 0W-20

@thecluelessmechanic7127 Год назад

Thanks for the super helpful video. Something similar is happening in my 2005 Toyota Camry (too many things in the trunk as well). Going to try out your fix soon

@carkingspot3973 Год назад

No problem. I’m happy to hear you found it helpful. I much prefer a trunk with struts, it doesn’t take extra space and holds the trunk up much better. Good luck with the fix. Let me know how it went. Best. 👍

@romragnarok9233 2 года назад

Hello what do you call that white thingy to hold the two spring bar?

@carkingspot3973 2 года назад

I believe it’s called “trunk torsion bar clip” or “trunk lid spring clip”. Are you having the same issue with your trunk?

@user-rf9zg8zw5r 5 месяцев назад

What is the part name sir? And was it applicable to my honda civic gen 10 too?

@carkingspot3973 5 месяцев назад

It’s called a trunk opener spring or torsion bar. I don’t know if it would be the same dimension for Civic also.

Hello Sir, does it matter which bar I should install first and which go to the top/bottom of the bar clip?

Is this easy to install?

@carkingspot3973 Год назад

It was pretty easy. I think the hardest part for me was bending one end of the torsion bar into its position.
