I remember right back to the forum start, one of the early complaints on the 8G was weak tailgate struts.

Caught a few out as they whacked their head when it dropped.

I think Honda did beef them up a bit but I don't remember when.

I've buoyed the Mercedes ML ('98-'05) but they are like 0,5cm longer and at the end the trunk door is touching


Up- OEM
Down- mercedes

Left - OEM
Right- Mercedes
