Southernspeed Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I've fitted some replacement gas struts which are working fine as such, but now when I press the tailgate release it doesn't pop up enough to clear the catch so you have to use two hands, one to press the button, the other to lift it slightly. SGS assure me that the struts aren't even working at full compression so they wouldn't hinder the poppers operation. It worked fine with the 'almost worn out' original struts. So do the 'poppers' wear generally? I presume there's no adjustment in them? I really only have to assist them with one finger to get the tailgate to clear the catch but it's not doing it on it's own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Do a search. Remove the counterweight or you could try the 'penny' trick. Both of these will yeild results in search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
