New Extended Boot Strut From SGS Engineering
Discussion
The Chimaera has a ball connector both sides and the AX one appears to be compatible. I assume this is the one that the previous poster bought from what others have posted I see know reason that the wont compress into the space available.
There's a number of alternatives. Or you could search for "550mm 250nm strut" or "550mm 300nm strut"
The one that I bought was listed as 300nm and I was a bit worried about it lifting up the side of the boot when it was closed but it sits exactly the same with the strut disconnected. It will lift the lid up on its own once you've got it a quarter of the way up, it's not even close to lifting on its own off of the latch and it's nice and sturdy when it's all the way up.
I can't comment on the lid touching the roof, it's very close but doesn't touch on mine. The lid is definitely all of the way up, it's not pushing on it enough to be stressing anything but it feels like it has stopped because it won't open any further not because the strut is at its full length, I reckon that it's still got a few mm left in it.
