that's what I thought until i started working at honda, and I saw them installing a few spoilers...asked the tech why he needed to install the spring...showed me that if you lift the trunk up half way without the spring, it would just fall right back down, whereas with the stiffer spring it will hold.
Be careful with the ebay wings, they dont line up like factory equip does (speaking from exprience)...so ya might want one that goes on with only 3m tape if ya get it from ebay!
Always use the details off the PDF instructions. Honda's instructions may have been updated since this video was made or the video text may be a misprint. The video is almost 7 years old.

the only reason they use the heavier trunk springs is to jack up the install cost. theres no need for the springs when the spoiler only weights 2 lbs

Cómo puedo instalar el spoiler trump que compre porque no trae los tornillos pegados al spoiler y no trae un templex ayudenme por favor.
So the trunk doesn't fall from the added weight.
Why do the Honda instructions say to say with a 3mm bit then finish with a. 8mm and college hills say 3mm and then a 10mm?

Is there a way to buy just that template to mark the holes?
I bought that spoiler but didn't come with the template
Honda does not offer a template separately.
how about filling the edge gap with silicon? will it damage paint?
Not recommended and unnecessary.
how come you remove the orginal right trunk spring and replace a firmer spring??

To replace with a firmer one due to the trunk weight increase.

My deck wing didn't come with the bolts pre installed like that , and I don't want to use only tape , anybody know the bolt size needed?
You need to contact the seller of the item. Those bolts are preinstalled "if" it is a Genuine Honda item. They should be 6mm bolts.

Trunk garnish
How much to install it ? Any one knows plz respond
Labor rate will vary by dealer. Honda's recommended install time is .8 hours.
Does it leak inside the trunk when it rains?
Glad that the 9th generation requires only 2 holes.
Not a very in depth video...coming from a dealership you'd think they would be a little more informative...my opinion
?
I'm only saying because the instructions seem lengthy...at least talking over the video instead of music I think would help a little more.
