For anyone interested I found a good aftermarket trunk struts. This one is 445N/100lbs. I ended up pairing one factory and one aftermarket because the aftermarket "bumped" at the top of it's range and the factory one is a hair shorter so it stops the travel before it reaches the end. Trunk opens...

I have an OEM one with less than 200 miles on it. I replaced it proactive. Lemme know if you are interested - it's on eBay right now but will sell for cheaper here :)

So just wrapping up my efforts here. I purchased an after market strut and I think it's the perfect size. I ended up pairing one factory and one aftermarket because the aftermarket "bumped" at the top of it's range and the factory one is a hair shorter so it stops the travel before it reaches...

Glad it worked out for you - other than the hassle - but that's free ;)

Did they not have a cover over the truck bed or something? Curious how you convinced them it was their fault?

So far so good, but thanks for the tip!

Added hood struts. The blue matches the paint fairly well!

I feel it in the accelerator pedal as well. Another opinion I've seen is just a harmonic kind of vibration since it's always between 3/4K RPMs. I can get behind this explanation a bit more than EWG. But I still want it GONE! LOL

If your warranty is expired - why are you still going to the dealer for repairs?

But that's my entire point...it's not the owners that slam it trunk, it everyone else! I pick up my friend for golf and he puts his bag in the trunk and slams the hatch. He's not reading the manual right??

I just hate that it gets slammed by people that don't know not to slam it!

I just replaced the DE5 trunk struts with the FL5 ones and they are probably too strong. I'm a fairly big guy 6'2" 250 and I need two hands to pull it down and then have to push it closed. The good news is it opens on its own - and fast! I might need to find an after market strut that is between...

For Sale: $100 plus shipping. Replaced my OEM tank with and aftermarket one. Less than 1K miles on it. No issues or leaks with this OEM tank. PayPal F&F or Venmo preferred. Otherwise add for PayPal fees.

Would be the most cost effective solution for sure!

Anyone find a good replacement for the OEM lipstick? Reading the oil level is a PITA on this thing.

I fit the BMW rim this weekend. Was really quite easy, just a bit tedious with taking the tire on and off while you torque it.

Added OEM splash guards and fit/modified my spare tire (BMW rim approach)

I've turned it off and switched to a magnetic charging cable for my Pixel. Connects pretty quickly without having to fiddle with it. Going to give it a few more weeks and then probably route the cable permanently.

Yep....was able to change my order. Website said fitment was good for all of them - thanks for saving me return shipping!

Nice, thanks for the reply. Did you install color matched guards or black?
