Purpose and Function in the Vehicle

The tension spring works with the trunk damper at the rear of the vehicle, responsible for the controlled opening and closing of the tailgate. A properly selected component in this area:

• ensures smooth, predictable tailgate operation,
• reduces the load on the damper mechanism,
• minimizes the risk of sudden tailgate drop during daily use.

Thanks to its dedicated application in the BMW F07 GT series, proper alignment with the hinge geometry and system operating force is maintained.

Benefits of Using an Original Tension Spring

Using an original tension spring in the rear trunk system translates into a number of practical advantages:

• Factory compatibility with the tailgate and trunk damper construction in the BMW F07 GT.
• Consistent operating parameters, matched to the weight and range of motion of the tailgate.
• Reduced wear on other components of the lifting mechanism.
• Stable operation in daily use, without the need for additional modifications.

This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a worn or weakened component, when you want to maintain the original tailgate operating characteristics.

Installation Characteristics

The trunk damper tension spring is designed for installation at the rear of the vehicle, in the area of the hinges and tailgate actuator. The design intended by the manufacturer allows for:

• retention of original mounting points,
• consistency with the factory tailgate guidance system,
• operation within the appropriate range of deflection and tension.

The component is from a dismantled vehicle, which allows for compatibility with solutions used as standard in the given model, while maintaining a favorable cost-to-functionality ratio.
