Troubleshooting

Gas spring is weak or does not hold the boot lid open.

This typically indicates the gas spring has lost its pressure and needs replacement. Ensure it was installed correctly and is the correct part for your vehicle.

Gas spring is difficult to compress during installation.

Ensure the boot lid is fully closed or supported. Do not force the spring; verify it is the correct part number and compatible with your vehicle. Installation should ideally be done with the boot lid slightly ajar or by comparing to the old unit.

Boot lid slams shut unexpectedly.

Check that the gas spring is securely attached at both mounting points. If securely attached, the spring likely needs replacement due to loss of pressure.
