FAQs
Are mounting brackets included?
No, the package includes the gas strut unit only. You should reuse existing mounting hardware.
Can I install this by myself?
Yes, if you have experience with basic mechanical repairs. However, since no instructions are included, having a helper to hold the bonnet steady is highly recommended.
How do I know if this fits my car?
Compare the part number 39703 with your manufacturer's service manual or consult a professional parts catalog using your vehicle's VIN.
What is the eject force of this strut?
The eject force ranges from 280 N to 350 N.
Does the temperature affect performance?
Yes, gas struts can feel slightly stiffer in extreme cold and more fluid in high heat, which is normal behavior for pressurized gas components.
Troubleshooting
The bonnet still does not stay open after installation
Verify that you have replaced both gas struts if the vehicle uses a dual-strut system, as a single new strut may not be sufficient to support the full weight.
Resistance felt during installation
Ensure the ball-and-socket mounts are clean and debris-free. Apply a small amount of light silicone grease if the connection point is tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Febi 39703 requires careful removal of the existing strut and proper attachment of the new unit. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle's compatibility by checking the part number against your existing component or your vehicle's service manual. Always ensure the bonnet is fully supported by an assistant or a prop rod before attempting to remove the old strut, as the panel may be heavier than expected. To maintain the life of the gas strut, keep the piston rod clean and free of debris, grease, or paint, as buildup can damage the internal seals and lead to premature failure. Avoid using excessive force during installation to prevent damage to the ball-and-socket mounting points.
