Since ive put a spoiler on i think the weight of it is too much for the hatch supports... and it wont stay up when you open the hatch. is there any way to strenghtn/tighten the support "things" so they can handle the extra weight and stay open. thanks

yep, you need stronger hatch struts... but if your celica had a stock one they should be strong enough for any spoiler you put on it.. unless they've gone bad..
I put on a Z-Glide style after my stock one was ripped off by someone.. and it held fine. -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207
