Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the mounting style and length before installation. The end fittings use ball socket connections, so confirm the existing attachment points on your BMW X3 match the 10mm and 16 degree socket configuration. For reliable operation, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the same opening panel.
