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?

Fenders = springs 😉

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

OOOh,you meant the absorbers ON the springs.. yeah, they came together so i didnt touch those. Ill double check tomorrow, for sure i've done something wrong. Thanks a lot!

I have seen many threads on the springs, shock absorbers, etc. But I had also seen one regarding low fluid in hydraulic pump for the trunk and it being behind the panels in the trunk on the righthand side near the wheel well. Does anyone have experience on this?
I see many folks say they do an open/close several times and it corrects the problem. Mine, in particular, closes and then immediately opens again. So trying to determine if this claim of low fluid may be the issue. Thanks!

And now ihave a question.... did anybody convert that spring loaded strut with electric open/close feature?
Does anybody know what parts do i need? I have comfort access, but i need to close trunk manually.

That's exactly what I'm interested in too.

I just retrofitted automatic trunk on my f10. It's was not bad job at all. You can find a good diy pdf in here. Wire size's mentioned are bit wrong, but those can be checked from newtis. Main parts needed are both electric shocks, trunk lock with softclose motor, control module and some wires, pins and connector/wiring harness for control module.
