I bought struts from SGS and they are are so easy to fit even I could do it.
Best if someone can hold the tailgate but if not prop it open with your head!
Ease the clips off the covers with a flat blade screwdriver and the strut will pull off with ease.
Next... UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EASE THE CLIPS ON THE NEW ONES - I did and broke the first one!
They just push on with a bit of a thump from your fist.
The instructions from SGS are very good but if unsure they are very helpful on the phone.
Good luck... Another bit of advice.. Put the kettle on when you start as it will have just boiled ready to make a brew by the time you have finished installation!
