#1 Boot spring conversion to gas strut

Post by mxke » Mon Mar 07, 2022 5:08 pm

Hi
Has anyone installed gas struts to an OTS boot lid? I’ve replaced the springs and the new ones have weakened (6 per side) over the past year. Looking for a different solution.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Difficult to do due to the angle the boot lid opens.

that's my opinion anyway !
