Estate Tailgate: Gas Struts Wanted
22. Mar 2011 at 07:19
 
Deb`s dogs have suffered a gas leak from the pup-mobile`s tailgate and now their 'back door' has to be propped with a broom-stale when ever we use it. Cry

Can anybody help us out with a couple of s/h gas struts (for an estate tailgate), please? Kiss

You will probably only need one. pop them off and see which one is weaker. My brother in law has a mondeo hatchback, one of his struts failed and I gave him one from an omega estate to try and it fitted perfectly. So a mondeo strut might fit yours.
