What else should be replaced when replacing boot lid struts?
When replacing boot lid struts, inspect and potentially replace the mounting brackets, ball studs, and any bushings or grommets. Check the seals and weatherstripping for damage, ensure the trunk lid is properly aligned, and lubricate hinges. Verify the latch mechanism’s functionality and inspect trunk interior trim. Ensure all electrical components are reconnected and working correctly.
How to replacing boot lid struts?
Boot lid struts are not repairable. In case of malfunction, the components are to be replaced. Installation is easy to be done by yourself. Stick to the following algorithm:
- Open access to the component’s fasteners. You may have to remove the trim of the boot lid, and, sometimes, that of the passenger compartment and, partirally, of the roof.
- Lift the boot lid and secure it in position with safety supports.
- Using a flat screwdriver, release the top and bottom fastening clips, and gently pull out the faulty boot lid strut.
- After you have bled the air from the new part, install it instead of the old part.
- Do the same with the second bood strut. Remember: the trunk lid gas struts should be always replaced in pairs.
