Was wondering why my boot opens only half way by its self I have to push the rest to open it the struts are not even a year old ... Got them from struts depot on the net eBay ...
When I had my big spoiler fitted I had to lift it from closed position :laugh2:
Aren't there some merc ones that fit and are stronger? Or did I dream that?
On the strut you'll see a rating......460N or 510N...... something along those lines anyway. It's the lifting strength in Newtons. The higher the number the more powerful the lift.
Ive just bought the Merc ones randomely as someone posted fb clip yesterday. Same supplier. Cant imagine I'll have your issue but would be gd to see how the same seller responds[emoji106]
460Nm is what the OEM struts are usually rated at (non Type R) whereas the Merc units are more powerful at around 570Nm (check the Wiki link above) so work well if you've fitted a spoiler.
