Detailed Description
URO 51248110327 is a trunk lid lift support engineered for direct replacement on select BMW 525i, 530i, 535i, 540i, and M5 models. It uses OE-style construction to help the trunk open smoothly and stay supported during normal use. This lift support is a practical solution when the original strut has lost pressure, feels weak, or no longer holds the trunk lid properly. Cross-reference part numbers include URO-010537 and VAICO V20-2014.
Common Issues It Can Solve
- Trunk lid drops after being opened
- Weak or uneven lift assistance
- Trunk support that no longer holds the lid up
- Slow, inconsistent trunk opening action
- Noise or rough movement from a worn gas strut
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify vehicle fitment before installation, especially on cars equipped with an M Technic rear spoiler, which are excluded from this application. Compare the original support length and end fittings before removal, and replace one side at a time if needed to maintain trunk lid control during service. This part is intended for the rear trunk lid position.
Quality Assurance
This URO trunk lid lift support is backed by a 24 Month Unlimited Mileage Warranty.
