Man this hole time I thought the trunk on this damn car was just lazy to open. Now I see the shock are bad. Thanks

no need to remove the safety clip when installing the new ones, just pop them in. good diy by the way

I thought this trunk was just heavy af

The quality of your videos, both cinematographically and informatively, just keeps increasing. Very nice to see, Justin! Keep on 😁

Simple yet very informative. Thanks JB.

Just used your instructions to do my BMW tailgate. Went like a charm. Thank you!

You have no idea how many of your videos i have seen to do things on my car. You are a legend man.

I've had bad struts for soooooooo long now and I've grown soooooo tired of people slamming my trunk by accident because I'm too lazy to replace them. Your video has inspired me to not be a lazy ass.

I did this exactly two days ago, using the same struts as you did 😂 what a Timing

Perfect timing, I was seriously planning on doing this soon so thanks for the video 😬

Spring clip only has to be shifted/removed to take off old ones, new ones you just pop them on

A skateboarding channel would be awesome. Think about it Justin!

Just watched and will use what I learned to DIY my struts that I have put up with for several years, but now can easily fix myself. Thanks.

Thanks for the really helpful video of install Justin. It took a broken strut end to replace me, I’m glad it broke as I just thought that was the way it was with the heaviness of the trunk, it often closed whilst I had me head in the trunk hitting my back or head. I am about to install new struts now. Thanks again mate. Cheers - Stu 😀

Thanks so much! I definitely need to replace them. So glad to know it is this easy to do.

Hey mate, Thanks heaps for the videos. Was thinking of selling it for something else until I found most of the useful, articulate e90 DIY videos were from the one person - you. I've done a few jobs and now actually enjoy fixing up the little things.

Good idea on the gloves. I'm always doing that. Thanks for the video, I'll be trying this in a couple of days!

Thx Bud! Great easy well-done vid.

Finally replacing mine! Very informative and easy to follow video! Thank you!!

The gloves made me giggle lol informative & good video!

Best demo Iv seen very helpful thank you

Thanks for all the cool vids

I replaced on my e90. Such an easy fix. Thanks Justin

Awesome 👏 just purchased mine thru the link you offered, arrives in 2 days 😎

its boot here in my home country malaysia. trunk is at the tree or something.. good video as always, justin!

Thanks so much! I did this all by myself today! 😆

I thought the strut only helped the trunk to stay up but not to actually help opened it. Just changed the struts and loving it. 5 min top, really easy to change.

Thank you for this video I just changed them thanks to you!

That's what's up! Thanks Justin. Thumbs up from Washington State Bro

I replaced mine with some made by üro parts on rock auto, $6.18/ea and haven't had any problems in 6 months!

I just replaced these in my e90 These are the best after market struts ever !

Thanks man! Subscribed!

Thanks! We didn’t need to move the retaining clips to install the new one, just used a rubber mallet. Easy as pie!

You make great videos and you can skate 😂 Good job!

Hello Mr Nice. Your video was very helpful. Thank u so much...😎

Thanks Justin. Was super easy.

Thank you for sharing I've dropped a like and subbed ❤

very good video, quality and informative

excellent video

😀 Thanks amigo this really helped me. Greetings from Texas the lower rio grande valley

Even though it's an easy job, I wasn't sure how to get them off. Now I know how the clips work, should be a doddle. So thanks!

Thanks for the video doing mines g

Didn't even know this needed to be done and now I see why! The trunk is super annoying because sometimes I'll hit my head on the latch part because the trunk doesn't raise all the way up, and it hurts like hell

Dam your pushing those vids out 👌💪☺

A big THANK YOU!!!!!😀

TY!

Best outtrroooo ever bro g damn keep it up

Not only did u have the vibe but do skate!! 😅😅 fck yeah!! 🤘 🤘🤘👌👌🔥🔥🛹 I was here for the beemer vlogs and DIYs but good to know u shredd those dunks properly!! Respect yoo!! 👍👍

Thanks man

nice video, I really enjoyed the extra at the end too! :)

Good video, thanks.

Thanks for the tip...gonna check my struts "a proud or pompous step or walk" right away! lol

Looking for advise please! I have a 2011 E90 and recently both or the sideview mirrors (just the glass not the housing) started shaking at highway speeds. They are both solid at low speeds even on the bumpiest roads so I assume it must be the wind speed shaking them around somehow. They both have a little wiggle room to the touch and bounce back into place. Thanks in advance.

Thanks bro

Thanks man.

Great video Justin 👍

dope how to video 🤙

SKILLS TO PAY THE BILLS 🔥🔥

👍 Sweet Chris Fix reference lol.

Hi Justin. Can I offer a suggestion? Use the license plate to close the trunk. That way you minimize scratches on the paint.

Can u do another video like this but for replacing the hood struts

Yes, in my part of the world we refer to the "trunk" as the boot, and the "hood" is the bonnet, AND the "glove box" as the cubbyhole! :D Typical and normal to shed blood whenever working on a BMW, and always be careful with the 10mm socket around these cars! :D Back to the vid, pretty cool little DIY, mine is still using the original struts, so pretty much the same as how yours were, will have to replace them at some point. The ones for the bonnet are interestingly still pretty good though.

I liked the tricks at the end!!

Another amazing tutorial

tq..guys

Yey new project for my car!!! umm honey put down the bat! No i don't know where Justin lives! LOL

Great

Doing this ASAP 👍🏾👍🏾

Good video. It's called a boot. Trunks are jocks you wear swimming.haha

3:09 is it really that hard to push it down? I think ill keep my old struts as its easier to close then.. i just grab the handle by the inside but it seems impossible with these strong struts...

Wow I had a feeling mine were shot 😂 thanks for the video

😂😂😂when u said i stab myself with the screwdriver And also explain it….love your videos✅

I saw that Chris Haslem one foot balance act I SEE YOU!

I should change my shocks!

Awesome video brother 🙏🏼 i seriously need to do this on my car😅 i cannot count the amount of time the bootlid hit my head😅 luckily no damage😅

God I hate it when my trunk goes limp. Thanks for the video Justin good job. Great info.

will the boot go up if you open with the fob?

I had to replace my trunk lift motors but it was on the Gran Coupe and it was over 1500

Safety-wise, I actually prefer the heavy trunk...used to have a glitch where the trunk unlocked itself while driving...and I've hit the release w/my knee a few times...stays closed no matter what, even on bumps.

Hey nice video! I was wondering if you could install ones, which can open the trunk by themselves, just by pressing the button on the key! Thanks and keep on like that! Greetings from Austria.

I just swapped out these struts for my e92 and when opening the trunk initially, the weight is still very heavy and only has resistance when closing the trunk. Any thoughts on why my trunk isn’t opening with ease?

How many newton's must be? Thanks

Yup when I ordered I though it came in pairs... it didn’t

Need to watch and make sure they open only enough, some crosslisted parts will open too far causing excess strain on wiring harness in trunk lid leading to snapping wires. Happened to my old E90.

Hey!! (Unrelated question) But would you happen to know a hack of how to jump a 2007 bmw 328i when locked out of your car?? My car is dead and my battery/manual key won’t open it Or am I just screwed🤦🏼‍♀️ Thank you!! Your vids helped me understand a lot!!

After breaking these in,is it still hard to close the trunk?

For the bmw e36 link plz??

Why not unlock with your key fob? I wanted to see if it opens up because mine doesn't after replacing it with the same exact struts as yours. I notice you push the trunk up with your hands instead of letting it pop open by itself. My Mercedes doesn't have this problem but the e90 does...

Bruh, I wish I had as much swag as you :c

Thanks. PS: if you go to service în Europa is 50€ only the work force.

Where Can i get the wing you have on your trunk?

багажник теперь с ключа сам открывается ? И спойлер ты монтировал с помощью скотча, держится хорошо ? На моей машине отклеивался после 3- 4 мойки. Надоело, продал его. Хотя скотч использовал 3м

Let’s pray for Justin’s speedy recovery those finger cuts ain’t no joke #prayforjustin😂😂😂 jk ur my boy blue !!!

Did this how to on my channel forever ago.

i'm thinking about auto opening trunk

Hi, did you find the lift strength was sufficient immediately from releasing the lock? I replaced mine with a similar product, but they couldn't really support the weight initially until half open, so the lid still dropped down. Thanks.

Hey Justin B, it’s Justin C. Is there a way to have the trunk open automatically when you press the release button from inside the car or the key fob? I saw around there’s a spring you can get that when installed to the strut will open the trunk without a sweat.

Ordered immediately. Had no idea the trunk is supposed to pop up like that.

Wow I wished I would’ve know this before lol but I guess it’s cool I didn’t because just a week ago an old lady hit my 2007 bmw 328i and it was totaled and I only had the car for 3 months 🥺 it sucks but I’m just happy I’m alive I can always get another bmw but for now I have to drive my really old Nisan Altima until I can find a new bmw😞

Hello from 2022 from Romania :D I replaced the "TRUNK STRUTS" on my mother's nissan qashqai :D For SUV's you must be prepared for that heavy trunk door :)) before you get to work you must work out 2-3 days in advanced, haha :D (or have another person assist you).
