Troubleshooting

Gas spring feels stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure correct installation orientation and that no other components are obstructing its movement. Extreme temperatures can temporarily affect performance; allow the vehicle to reach ambient temperature.

Gas spring does not hold the component (e.g., hood) open.

Verify the eject force (260 N) is sufficient for the weight of the component. Check for proper seating at both mounting points. If the issue persists, the gas spring may be faulty and requires replacement.

Component does not close smoothly or feels heavy.

This could indicate a faulty gas spring or an obstruction. Ensure the gas spring is the correct part and properly installed. Check for any binding or misalignments in the component it supports.

Leakage observed from the gas spring seal.

Any visible leakage indicates a seal failure. The gas spring must be replaced immediately to prevent further loss of gas and potential damage.
