Gas Strut Lift Supports for BMW Z3 E36 Tailgate 51248399087
Restore smooth operation to your 1995–2003 BMW Z3 E36 convertible trunk without struggling with heavy doors. This pair of aftermarket gas lift supports replaces failing OEM struts that have lost pressure or leaked fluid. Featuring an 18 mm housing diameter and a 65 mm active stroke, each unit delivers 690 N of controlled lifting force to secure the tailgate safely in place. The steel construction aligns directly with factory mounting points, enabling a straightforward bolt-on replacement that returns proper tension to your boot lid.
Benefits & Practical Tips
- Replace sagging units to prevent paint scratches and keep both hands free when loading cargo.
- Allow new struts to sit at room temperature for a few hours before mounting to ensure smooth piston action.
- Keep protective end caps on the rods until final placement to preserve sealing performance during storage.
