Tailgate Gas Struts

[redwood98]

I did the bonnet one too, harder in my opinion but once you get the hang of it, it isn’t too bad. I would also suggest remove the post you can use to hold the bonnet open afterwards as you no longer need it anyway and my struts were knocking it out of the latch when I opened it.

I was able to do it with one hand by loosening the struts first and holding the tailgate open with one had while doing it with the other.

I did mine on my own. Used an umberella located in the boot catch cavity at rear of boot floor. Easy peasy. They work a dream boot opens smoothly and damped by the gas struts. Brillant upgrade for about £25.
