Boot Spoiler too heavy!

[Hyperion]

I got a IS boot spoiler with a LED (not standard), and its too heavy for the boot, has anyone had this problem, and can it be fixed?

you need the uprated bootlid springs from a mtech II kit car.

phoned BMW dealership and they said they cant help me
maybe a tasteful stick to hold the boot up will be my solution, its abit cheapy but oh well.

This is for a saloon i assume, if so the part numbers for the springs are

41.62.2.238.836 (right hand spring)
41.62.2.238.835 (Left hand spring)

right PIA to fit apparently....

listed as Ԛ£8 each approx.

give the dealers another ring with the above part numbers and see if they can help.

Have you tried moving the ends of the torsion springs over to the next slots ?.

There are 2 slos for the springs, nn soiler cars use the lower tension position but all spoilered cars (lip or mtec) use the other one just behind it.

Worked fine for my fake mtec before I put the lip back on.

You could tie a few Helium balloons to the spoiler.

You could tie a few Helium balloons to the spoiler.

Or just not open the boot.

the springs temple means are under the back shelf in the boot look up n you will see em just move em to the other slots and see if the bootlid still hits you in the head (ouch)if it does try again hth Daz

Does work , i've an m tech spoiler fitted along with optional extra inner panel and the settings are the bars are located on the holes nearest the rear of the car

Shit i checked and it looks like it is aleady on that setting. Now that i think about i think it used to keep the boot up before...
it only started bothering me lately. i think i will try to get new boot springs.
thanks
