Title: Boot gas strut
Post by Lazenby43 on Aug 7^th, 2011, 8:04pm

Anyone got one that is firmer than my soft one? My wife complains when it droops (when the lid sinks)

OK thanks. It's weird, in the cooler weather it become more rigid and stays up. Also if you pump it a few times it can hold up. I said to the Wife, Wife, I said, it IS common and it must happen to many others. Anyway I've promised her a BBC, a big black cartridge, as a replacement.

I'm getting confused, is this an estate not a saloon?

Only on the saloon it's the springs that hold the lid up, not the dampers http://livinginthepast-audioweb.co.uk/images/misc/th_scratchhead.gif
