Bongo roof won't go fully up

Hi there.

Nice job, all the best

I took the gas struts in to SGS-engineering in Derby. Excellent service. Unfortunately the left gas strut was, as I suspected, too far gone to be regassed.

Thus bought a pair of new struts at around £65 per strut inc. vat., which they had ready within 10 minutes! No problem with specifications for the Mazda Bongo roof. Considerably more than the £17.50 per strut for regassing, but at least the problem is solved - attached the new struts to the roof & it is working perfectly.

Thanks everyone for their comments / advice.

Best wishes

Great news. Stuff like this (£) has to be expected esp. with a sophisticated car like the AFT Bongo. The main thing it is sorted and probably works better than most of ours now and should do for some years. Not a bad cost outlay / outcome all things considered. Now you can enjoy it

oh dear if thats our problem I,m guessing we going to be a tintop for a while -either that or sacrafice the holiday next week
-what a dilemma (not) i,ve already sacraficed a holiday in june due to shelling out for vehicles (not the bongo) - we dont put it up in the wind anyway -(cos I,m a wimp) and it will be windy.(cos I,m going on holiday and camping on the cliffs) credit crunch - what credit crunch
