How to change the pistons of the rear lid of the Opel Astra H.

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Body

If when opening the rear bonnet of the luggage compartment it does not support itself correctly in the open position, it means that the relative gas springs, commonly called pistons, have deteriorated and must therefore be replaced; once you have purchased the new springs, make sure they are compatible by comparing the type of stem and the length; at this point proceed with the replacement one spring at a time by releasing the safety catch in correspondence with the ball hinge by extracting it, applying the new spring orienting it in the right direction and taking care to release the relative fastening safety devices.
