Purpose and function of the gas spring

The presented gas spring is responsible for the controlled lifting and holding in the upper position of the right side of the tailgate in the BMW F07 GT. A correctly selected component guarantees:

• stable guidance of the tailgate during opening and closing,
• proper balancing of the lid's weight,
• reduction of loads acting on the hinges and mounts.

Thanks to the preservation of the original design, the gas spring works with the factory mounting and hinge system, which translates into predictable operation of the entire tailgate assembly.

Construction and fitment for the BMW F07 GT

The gas spring has been designed specifically for the Gran Turismo body, where the tailgate has a significant surface area and requires a properly selected operating characteristic. The component is mounted on the right side of the vehicle, in accordance with the BMW factory specification, which allows for maintaining:

• the correct tailgate alignment relative to the body,
• proper fitment with the left gas spring,
• compatibility with standard mounting points.

Such a solution facilitates installation and reduces the risk of incorrect tailgate positioning, which could result in it rubbing against body elements.

Benefits of using an original gas spring

Using an original gas spring in the BMW F07 GT allows for maintaining the factory operating parameters of the tailgate. In practice, this means:

• more predictable opening and closing of the lid,
• lower load on the hinges and body panels,
• reduction of the risk of the tailgate suddenly falling when components are worn.

A used component from the Tailgate and rear parts group represents a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining factory performance characteristics, especially in the case of maintenance repairs or restoring functionality after mechanical damage.

Practical installation tips

When replacing the right tailgate gas spring in the BMW F07 GT, it is recommended to:

• ensure the tailgate is supported during the removal of the old component,
• check the condition of the mounts on the body and tailgate side,
• verify the symmetry of the tailgate operation after installation, especially relative to the left gas spring.

Such an approach allows for maintaining an even load on both sides of the tailgate and extending the durability of the entire system.
