What should I do if the gas strut is damaged?
If the gas strut appears damaged or is leaking, it should be replaced immediately to ensure safety and proper function.
Can this strut be used for applications other than the boot?
No, this part is designed to be used as originally intended for the vehicle's boot or cargo area and should not be modified for other purposes.
Troubleshooting
Strut not holding boot open
Ensure the strut is correctly installed and fully engaged at both mounting points. Check if the eject force is sufficient for the weight of the boot/door. If the strut is old or has been subjected to damage, it may need replacement.
Boot opens too slowly or weakly
Verify the strut's eject force (990 N) is appropriate for your vehicle's boot. Internal seals may be failing, or the strut may be near the end of its service life. Replacement is likely necessary.
Strut makes noise during operation
Minor noises can sometimes occur, but loud creaking or grinding may indicate internal issues or improper installation. Ensure mounting points are lubricated (if applicable) and the strut is not binding.
