Boot strut/stay
Discussion
Hello,
After washing my 02 S last weekend, I opened the boot to find that the gas strut isn't doing its job properly and need to be replaced. Does anybody know what it's from so that I could replace it please?
I've found a website that sells them and as I'm about to order a replacement mirror glass from them that I would try to kill two birds with one stone so to speak.
many thanks in anticipation.

I replaced mine on my TuscanS with one rated at 650N from SGS http://www.sgs-engineering.com/, I have had two standard ones and neither could support the weight of the heavier S boot lid, no problem with the up-rated one.
Hi, Thanks for that.
Mine have a little bit of edge creep and so I found this place online, determined not to get a stick on set, I wanted to retain the heated element of them:

Hi NCE 61,
Thanks for your response.
That link doesn't work. My S is the Mk1, so the spoiler isn't part of the boot lid. As the car is concours, I would ideally like to replace it rather than upgrade it.
They must have changed ther web site they also have standard rated struts http://www.sgs-engineering.com/car-boot-tailgate/t...Thanks for your response.

Likewise, when the O/S mirror glass appeared to loose some of the silvering on my car, I got a VW Corrado replacement from Ebay, removed the original from the car and with care, removed the heater element to place on the new glass. Simples! and cost was about £10.
