Re: Rear boot dampers on convertible

Thanks Paulette sounds like the same set up not a lot to go wrong with fitting just taken one side off and I can push the damper in and out yurt by using slight finger force suspect these are faulty dampers almost feel as if no fluid or gas resistance will try new set thanks

Re: Rear boot dampers on convertible

Don’t think so because the damper should spring outwards and need force to close so either way round shouldn’t matter it seems like instead of pushing outwards they are pulling inwards may take the damper off to see what they do unfitted may be wrong ones
