How to Install Carbon Gas Struts for the Bonnet of a Peugeot 206

Model: Peugeot 206 MK 1 - Years 1998-2012
Part: Body

Here’s how to fit gas struts for the bonnet of a Peugeot 206: These struts have a carbon look and can be found on AliExpress with the code 4001252265429, costing £33.56, available in various colours. The installation is very simple; open the bonnet and remove the screw seen in the video, located in the middle of the bonnet, using a 10 mm spanner. Replace it with the ball bolt and tighten it well, but do not overdo it. Now remove the upper bolt of the bonnet, again with the 10 mm spanner, and replace it with the strap as shown in the video; position the old bolt back. Remove the clip from the bar that will be placed between the two ball bolts. Once positioned, you can replace the clip. To position the second clip, remove the old support, and then remove them, as you will need to repeat the operation on this side.
