Before starting, open the boot lid of your Fiat Panda. Begin by unfastening and removing the clips that secure the gas struts to their housing, using a small flat screwdriver and leveraging it. By doing this, you will have freed the struts.

Proceed to detach and remove them. Once you have completed this step, you will have successfully finished the disassembly.

To install the new struts, simply repeat these steps in reverse, and you will have successfully completed the replacement.
