Husky Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 not really ice and electronics but its a common issue and you can get the struts gassed up to a higher pressure. if you search you will find lots of info like the removal of heavy bits inside the boot lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacW Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Have I done something wrong in removing the bloody great weight behind the trim in my boot lid instead of replacing the struts then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 removing the weight will make no difference as the weight barely weighs anything at all! Cheapest option is to regass your original struts, there's a thread somewhere with the company details - costs around £35 is memory serves me correctly. Other option is new struts, a few of the traders on here stock them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacW Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Removing the weight made all the difference to me. Admittedly it doesn't weigh as much as the spoiler (weight is about 1kg ish, the spoiler at a guess weighs about 2-3kg) but after removing it the boot springs up just as it's supposed to.
