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

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.

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 !!

I thought this was going to be a nightmare expensive job but you've helped me to do it myself, thank you!

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

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

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 🥰🥰🥰🥰

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!

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!

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.

Waited 2 years and had a lot of bumps on my head. It took 2 mins to change them. Thanks.

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

Ace, thanks for a great video. Replaced my Focus bootlid gas struts in 5 minutes. Great job.

Thank you for the excellent video I am a DIY novice and even I managed to fix the gas struts on my Skoda thanks to you :)

I saved myself a load of hassle and time by finding your easy-to guide first. thanks!

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.

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

Great stuff. Thanks! Just did this on my Zafira. Vauxhall quoted me £150 for the job.

Short and clear instructional video - Perfect!

Thank you mate! 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷

Muito bom.

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?

Wow Thankyou £17.00 pound from eBay 3 minutes job done

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

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 😭

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

Is it the same process for an avensis t3x 53 plate

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

how about no clip on ball end?

Will it rise open itself when you unlock the boot?

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.

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?

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

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

It's for a Proton gen-2

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.

Well have I got a challenge for you. Try and change them on a 1999 ford contour. Look up the design. You'll understand,.

LOL, my replacements extend 2 inch, and pressing those down is near impossible

Mine opens too far and hits the car, is that different?

Mine keeps getting detach when closing

Mynnew ones are worse than the original 15y old ones

Says to have someone holding the boot up, doesn’t have someone holding the boot up…..🤣🤦‍♂️

For the hatch, I think is what he meant. The boot he was demonstrating on stays open by itself.

Why would you make a video on something you've 'never done before"?

Thanks!

Thank you
