I never comment but I just had to share that this is hands down the BEST video guide for shocks. Straight to the point, very easy to follow, and all around was perfect. thank you so very much.

Lucky me finding this today! Tomorow i will get my new shocks and guide support. I just took a deep dive in my trunk and was wondering where to start. But now i know. Anyhow now is my trunk nice and clean and 3-5 years of junk and dog candy is gone. So now i can put my pile of good things to have in the trunk back and open up for the top to come down. I havent used that "box" since i bought the car 9 years ago. 03 330i. 200 000 km (124274 miles )and the right damper went from healty to bad into a bicycle pump in just 5 trips to work. At first when driving it was hard to tell wich one where bad, but soon it was no problem to tell. Thank you Glen, you saved me som hours of unnecessary work. I thought the mount was going bo be more in the back closer to the battery. Now i know what those white plastic covers hide. They where not there for letting water drain. I just went out to check if the top would open. And it did even after the safety swich has been asleap for a long time. I have no hard top, and i just drive in the summer and don´t need extra space in the trunk. I hope some noice will be gone from the rear of the car, with new guide supports. Then its just the front that squeeks sometimes. silicone spray in the swaybar mount made some difference for some days, but something else is going on. But iam working on it.

Thanks for the helpful video just a heads up, no need to remove the wheels to change the rear shocks, makes the job quicker.

Did you try manually cranking the roof open? Maybe would release the lock?

Any luck? Same

Is it 100% necessary to have the roof dropped?

You have to have the cover open and the back of the convertible top lifted up to give access.
