I apologize in case this has been addressed before but I couldn't find it.

The trunk on my 1994 530i should be held up by springs when open. Those springs have gotten tired. Can this be adjusted, and if so, how?

The hood operates okay but when I pull the release lever, the hood moves only a little, not as it should. It opens okay and closes okay but I am trying to figure out where to lubricate it so it will operate normally. Any help?
