Thank you for that video. It's such a relief to have someone show you how! A kind community service.

@seventhwave87 9 лет назад

Thank you SO much. I've been putting this off for five years because I thought it was difficult and expensive, and I just replaced the struts in about three minutes. You've made my week. Up until now the boot was incredibly difficult to open, and wouldn't stay open by itself.

@derekblewitt4931 6 лет назад

I echo the comments of others. My Golf Mk 3 struts had finally given out, so the taligate woudn't stay open. Like symphonicity, I was expecting a costly, difficult job. BUT . . . I found replacement struts on eBay for £10.98, icluding postage. No instructions, so 10 minutes scratching my head. Then 5 minutes on Google, 2 minutes to watch the video, and 10 minutes to fix. JOB DONE !! Thank you SO MUCH, Rob !!

Using this video in 2022, super easy to follow and got it on the first go. Thank you!

10 years on and your video helped me today, thank you 🙂

@gloryenterprise6081 Год назад

My dealer charged me £169 for this i watched your video, then i brought the part and fixed it in less than 3 mins, thank u 🥰🥰🥰🥰

@morinkhuur Год назад

Brilliant! No more wedged in broomsticks. No more "What's with the purple groove on the bridge of your nose?" Put this off for ages until I saw your video. Thanks!

@KagoSbuMokgethi7 11 месяцев назад

Incredible! Thanks. One guy offered to fit them at a charge and I thought, “nah fam there’s RU-vid.” Your video was the first I landed on and it took me exactly 3 minutes to fit! Thanks

@adam1gale Год назад

Thank you - I have just ordered replacement struts as one had failed - thought it worth replacing the pair for the extra few quid. I really appreciate the brief, informative video. So many love the sound of their own voice and make a quick task look arduous - this makes it look so easy!

@walshamite 10 лет назад

Brilliant, thanks. No instructions came with mine and I had presumed you had to hit them hard to get them off. This video makes me realize how many courses you go on could be replaced by some good video resources. I watched the essential screwdriver bit twice... ideal medium, well made.

@MichaelDavey18 7 месяцев назад

Thanks man. Just bought my 84 Yr old dad new ones for his birthday and mitsubishi spacestar today.

@frankpuranik6024 Год назад

Thanks very much, it worked exactly as your video showed: Changed the struts on my i3 with ease in under a couple of minutes a side. The clips pried off exactly as the video showed. As others said, it's seeing you do it that gives the confidence to give it a go. After the change of struts the tailgate lifts itself up just like it used to do.

@dant9719 Год назад

Can you remove the ball joint ends of the old struts got some new ones but it didn't have the ball joints on ?😊

@CozzaP1969 Год назад

I'm wondering if it's possible to fit longer ones to raise the tailgate slightly higher on my qashqai. I'm always bashing my head on the hatchback 😭

@ipod1978 8 лет назад

Very good video. Are there more powerful BMW struts that will open the boot lid fully when the key button is pressed instead of just popping open?

@ipod1978 8 лет назад

+MicksGarage1 Thank you pal

@chrispowerxt 12 лет назад

I just replaced mine hoping as well that it would rise itself but it does not. however I can open it now without having the same noise that he has with the old springs. There are some hydraulic systems out there though which will make it rise itself.

@ryangardiner669 6 лет назад

How do you get to the back of the bottom knuckle bolt? The bottom on on my missus' golf has popped out.

@yashinabdulla9217 4 года назад

Is it the same process for an avensis t3x 53 plate

@untuchaball9611 12 лет назад

Will it rise open itself when you unlock the boot?

@wilburjones4084 9 лет назад

is there a left and right? or does one strut fight both sides

@stevewelsh8560 4 года назад

how about no clip on ball end?

@adz124ps 7 лет назад

I bought some, but my boot still flys open, and almost hits the back windscreen. How do I make the boot struts stop this happening, anyone know?

@kostasnls4566 Год назад

could i do one side at the time? i think thats better way

@oosnajjar 10 месяцев назад

I found two types of struts, 500N and 350N, which one should I buy ?

@oosnajjar 10 месяцев назад

It's for a Proton gen-2

@sumant2000 4 года назад

with the scru driver he is taking out the gasket kind of thing, and then structs can come out easily. that thing is called what.. well I broke it while ficing it back, because it came out completely in my case.
