Product Information
Full details
This Febi Boot Gas Strut (103846) is designed specifically for Renault Captur owners looking to restore their tailgate's functionality to factory standards. It provides the necessary lifting force to keep the boot lid open safely and securely, preventing it from sagging or slamming shut. While it is an essential replacement part for improving vehicle convenience and safety, professional installation is recommended due to the tension involved in handling pressurized gas struts.

FAQs
Does this package come with two struts?
This guide covers part 103846. Please check your specific order quantity, but it is highly recommended to replace gas struts in pairs to ensure balanced lifting force.
How do I know if my struts are failing?
If your tailgate falls slowly, requires manual holding, or slams shut suddenly, the struts have lost their internal pressure and should be replaced.
Can I install these myself?
Yes, it is a straightforward process if you have a helper to support the tailgate; no specialized hydraulic tools are required.
Are there specific tools needed?
A flat-head screwdriver is typically all that is needed to manipulate the retention clips on the ball sockets.
What is the force rating of this strut?
The Febi 103846 has an extension force of 620 N.
Troubleshooting
Tailgate feels heavy after installation
Ensure that the strut was installed in the correct orientation (cylinder end usually faces up) and verify both struts are securely locked into the ball joints.
Difficulty removing old struts
Use a small flat-head screwdriver to lift the tension clip on the end fitting; do not remove the clip entirely, just pull it back far enough to release the ball joint.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Matches OEM specifications for perfect fitment
- Restores smooth tailgate lift and hold
- Robust construction for long service life

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, verify that the 103846 part number matches your specific Renault Captur model year and trim. To install, ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground and enlist a second person to hold the tailgate open, as removing both old struts simultaneously will cause the hatch to fall. Use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the retaining clips on the old strut end-fittings, slide them off, and snap the new Febi struts into place until you hear a click. For maintenance, keep the piston rods free of dust, debris, and oil residue. Periodically wipe the rod with a clean, dry cloth to prevent seal degradation.
