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.

Dan

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.

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:
