Floppy tailgate!

Post by psquiddy » Wed Nov 16, 2016 5:38 pm

My tailgate has gone floppy so I assume the struts have lost their pressure.

Can you get them re-gassed?

Are they all the same, so if I pick some up on Ebay will they fit my 2002 2.0l tin top whatever they have come off?

I went for second hand off Ebay which was about half the price of a re-gas.

They were described as 1994-98 but fit my 2002 model with no problems.
