Review on 🚘 BOXI Qty(2) Trunk Lift Support Struts for B-M-W Z4 2003-2009 Convertible Trunk - Model 51247016186 by Duane Barker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A small flathead screwdriver is pretty much all you need

For my 2003 z4 I've replaced them with originals twice in the last few years but the ball joint always rusts and falls apart over time. They have a much higher carrying capacity than stocks. Very easy to install and they also come with joint lubricant already in the flare body. After removing one grout and installing a new one, I also coated the exterior surfaces with waterproof epoxy to eliminate the possibility of rusting, which is difficult as I live near the beach. As soon as I press the trunk button, they lift the barley and push with their fingers to fully open the lid. It takes a little more force to close the trunk, but nothing, it closes smoothly.

Pros
  • Worth your money
Cons
  • It's ok
