fat haggis Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Get replacement gas rams. Easy to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That986 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Or look for uprated struts from aftermarket people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall it was less than £20 for the pair. The usual Porsche spares shops will also do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yep, I too had the fixed Aero spoiler on the boot lid. A new set of standard struts from ebay were about £9 ea and 5 mins to install. They were still perfect after 4+ years - no more lock hitting you on the bonce, or fear of it closing with the keys inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
