Do you want to replace the damaged gas struts? Here’s how to replace them from above the rear boot of a Corsa. Lift the boot and secure it. Using a flathead screwdriver, detach the metal clips that hold the worn strut at both ends.

Replace the damaged strut with a new one (same type). Secure the strut with the metal clips.

Follow the same procedure for the removal/installation of the strut on the upper side. Test the operation of the struts by opening and closing the car boot.
