HOW TO REPLACE BMW TRUNK STRUTS | Easy 5 Minute DIY 

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

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

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

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!

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

Simple yet very informative. Thanks JB.

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

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

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

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

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.

Thanks for all the cool vids

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

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 😀

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

Thanks man! Subscribed!

Thanks Justin. Was super easy.

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

Best demo Iv seen very helpful thank you

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

The gloves made me giggle lol informative & good video!

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

A big THANK YOU!!!!!😀

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.

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

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

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

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

SKILLS TO PAY THE BILLS 🔥🔥

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

Dam your pushing those vids out 👌💪☺

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

Thanks man

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

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.

Thanks bro

Doing this ASAP 👍🏾👍🏾

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

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

Great

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

tq..guys

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!! 👍👍

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

I should change my shocks!

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

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

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

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

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

That skill skating ! :D Peace V

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.

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

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

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

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😅

Megacool

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.

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.

How many newton's must be? Thanks

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

For the bmw e36 link plz??

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.

struts were a cover up he was just tryna flex his skating skills

I found out the hard way I needed new struts, my trunk damn near decapitated me ❗💀🤣

This is something I've needed to do for like a year now, mine are so bad the trunk wants to close itself lol

i'm thinking about auto opening trunk

Justin is the mf goat. 🐐

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

Did this how to on my channel forever ago.

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).

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

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.

Trunk also mean shorts ?

Dang i need new ones

Wow I wonder where you got the idea for this DIY 🧐🧐🧐

why didn't you try with the remote :((
