When you turn the outer part it does not adjust the pin length or the spring tension. It just moves the whole assembly either towards the boot lid or away from it.
I don't understand undoing the trim to adjust them. To replace the bumpers then you have to undo the trim.
When I first had this problem I ordered new bumpers and after fitting them had the same problem. Then someone explained about turning the pin to release it, and the adjustment I worked out myself. My old ones were exactly the same as the new ones, they had just not haqd the pins released.
