Setup, Compatibility & Care

Use the provided make and model tool or contact customer support with your vehicle details. Ensure all specifications, including dimensions and type, match your original part.
Installation:
- Ensure the vehicle is safely parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged.
- Support the boot lid securely to prevent it from falling.
- Typically, gas struts are attached with mounting brackets secured by bolts or clips. Carefully remove the old strut by unfastening these points.

Care: Gas struts are generally maintenance-free. Avoid applying excessive force or lubricants to the piston rod, as this can damage the seal and lead to premature failure. Keep the mounting points clean and free of debris.
Note: Installation may require specific tools. If you are not comfortable with automotive repairs, it is recommended to have this part installed by a qualified mechanic.
