hooked on cracker works for me

 

Translation..... He wants to buy A pair of old worn out shocks for his trunk lid. New ones work to well and lift his carbon fiber hatch. Has any one else had this problem ? What else can he try to fix this problem without replacing current shocks?

 

Someone else had a similar problem because they had installed the shocks wrong.

 

It's potentially the weight difference between the stocker and CF trunk.

I know this isn't relevant but when my friend installed a CF hood on his E39 M5 he had to use E46 M3 hood shocks because overtime the M5 shocks would have broken the hood. He only knew this from the forum of course.

 

You can always skip the shocks and carry a rod to prop the hatch, isn't too heavy to lift without shocks. Another reason to skip the shocks is on a very hot day it can push the hatch up.

 

Sounds like improper shock install.

 

is the glass in ??
the glass portion usually adds some decent weight to help

 

Two things:
- Do not post "wanted to buy" threads anywhere outside of the classifieds
- Do not bump your thread after only 1 hour. 1 day, maybe, but never hours.
