Question Fixing the trunk in my BMW f10 525d

Hi guys, im new here so dont mind if i got something wrong.
I have a problem with my trunk opening way too fast, was researching here and on google about it, got to the conclusion that i have to replace my trunk springs.
I replaced both left and right, but the trunk problem remains.
Any tips what else could be the problem? Help is much appreciated.

I had the same situation.
Did you replace only the fenders or the shock absorbers as well?

Why? Shock absorber softens the movement 🤷

Did you buy the springs and shock absorber together (two pairs)? If so, put in those new parts and everything will be ok. In the product image, the spring and shock absorber come together, ready to be replaced
