Thank you. That helped me replace the broken gas spring on my car (my mechanic is solidly booked the next 2 weeks), one gas spring at 20$, a screwdriver and 5 minutes of work and Boom!! - working again.
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 !!
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!
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!
Incredible! Thanks. One guy offered to fit them at a charge and I thought, “nah fam there’s TH-cam.” Your video was the first I landed on and it took me exactly 3 minutes to fit! 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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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

Waited 2 years and had a lot of bumps on my head. It took 2 mins to change them. Thanks.
Thanks man. Just bought my 84 Yr old dad new ones for his birthday and mitsubishi spacestar today.
I saved myself a load of hassle and time by finding your easy-to guide first. thanks!
Great stuff. Thanks! Just did this on my Zafira. Vauxhall quoted me £150 for the job.
Just what was looking for, thanks.
No problem!
Short and clear instructional video - Perfect!
Glad it was helpful!

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 :)
This video helped heaps. Took not even 10minutes to learn and apply!
Ace, thanks for a great video. Replaced my Focus bootlid gas struts in 5 minutes. Great job.
Thanks mate! I was almost there....but watching you do it made super easy.
Just bought 2 struts for my car. I was trying to pry them off then gave up. That's what led me to here. Thanks for the tutorial :)
thx alot. this helped, i didnt know how to get the old sticks out :) they were rotting, left from the previous owner! good to have new :)
Saved me $50 thank you. ‼️👏🏾
Bro thx for the informative video , short and straight to the point
Thanks for your help just waiting for my new struts
thanks, just saved a load of money at the garage
Thanks, very helpful
Brilliant! Thanks!
Thanks Mick. Top tips. Much appreciated.
Thank you, I just changed mine.
Thanks worked perfectly on suzuki alto.
practical, to the point. And very pleasant narration!
Thank you, I was overthinking it. This made it easy 🙏
Exactly what I needed 😃
Great job.
Thank you!
Thank you so much. I just did a replacement myself.
Excellent guys, thank you! This was going to cost me a fortune at Peugeot!
Thanks, quick and simple explanation
Helpful 😊 thank you
Clearly explained. Thanks.
Just what I needed! Thank you!
Thanks!
Fabulous, thanks so much just got new struts and didnt have a clue lol.
Thanks so much. That was a great help. Cheers Joe
Thanks. Very helpful.
Thank you
Even women can do it ;) Thank you for uploading your video .
Wow Thankyou £17.00 pound from eBay 3 minutes job done
Thanks Mick - very helpful.
Fantastic video
thank you very much for this amazing video I replaced it myself
Thanks for the info bro. God bless
Great video. Thanks so much.
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?
+MicksGarage1 Thank you pal
Can you remove the ball joint ends of the old struts got some new ones but it didn't have the ball joints on ?😊
Good video.
Legend!
Really helpful! Thank you.
On ya Mick. Thanks mate.
Thank you very much! :)
Thanks
could i do one side at the time? i think thats better way
Very helpful!
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 😭
Wow thank you...
how about no clip on ball end?
Very good .. thank u
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.
Is it the same process for an avensis t3x 53 plate
Thank you mate! 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
is there a left and right? or does one strut fight both sides
How do you get to the back of the bottom knuckle bolt? The bottom on on my missus' golf has popped out.
Will it rise open itself when you unlock the boot?
Thank you this really helped =)
nice video. very helpful.
I found two types of struts, 500N and 350N, which one should I buy ?
It's for a Proton gen-2
nice mate
thanks man ;)
Muito bom.
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?
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,.
Mine keeps getting detach when closing
Mine opens too far and hits the car, is that different?
LOL, my replacements extend 2 inch, and pressing those down is near impossible
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.
Mynnew ones are worse than the original 15y old ones
Why would you make a video on something you've 'never done before"?
Thanks!
Thank you
