BMW Trunk Latch - SHIMS -----
I ordered the updated trunk stoppers. As well, based on various threads, it suggested that the new trunk latch/mod was that BMW added some shims...I called and they advised the computer told said a QTY of 5. So part #37 is what I got which is a bag of 5 Fender Washers....ha, they must be SPECIAL German Fender Washers... GRRR...in my haste to swap out the trunk struts, after putting one on, I realized I ordered new rubbers mounts as well. Oh well, here comes the fun art of now removing the clip and getting it back on the trunk strut.

BTW. after swapping for new trunk struts, new robber stoppes on both the hatch and body gotta give it a good SLAM for it to shut flush. If not, top hatch sits about a mm too much. I never did have any noise in the rear...just a very faint creak that golden ears.

If the hatch has to be slammed you probably just gotta adjust in the stoppers in just a bit. As for the washers, I have never seen anyone have to adjust the latch with spacers for anything so I don't know where they are putting them...

I'll get around to adjusting them. I figured I'd let the springs on the new stoppers get some weight. I was beyond irked...
Between the universal joint and 30mm socket that was so heavy when I wanted the socket to stay up and it would just graviate down....for the trunk stoppers. An it took 30 minutes to change a @#$$)* brake bulk in the tail lamp due to my custom stereo system. I ran out of patience today.
