How should I care for this gas spring?
Gas springs require minimal care. Keep the extending rod clean and dry. Do not apply any lubricants to the rod or seals, as this can degrade the seal and attract dirt, potentially leading to failure.
Troubleshooting
Gas spring is too stiff or too weak.
Ensure the correct part number (233051) has been selected and is compatible with your vehicle's specifications. Incorrect fitment can lead to performance issues. Verify the spring is installed in the correct orientation as per the service manual.
Gas spring does not hold the tray open.
This could indicate a faulty unit or that the spring's eject force (155 N) is insufficient for the weight of the component it is lifting. Confirm compatibility and consider if the weight of the tray/component has changed.
Difficulty in installation or removal.
Refer to the vehicle's service manual for the correct procedure. Ensure appropriate tools are used. Never attempt to disassemble a gas spring, as it is under pressure.
