Today, you will see a really, really simple operation: replacing the gas struts that allow the tailgate to open by supporting its weight. As an example, we will show you a Renault Twingo 1, but the hydraulic struts are all very similar, and the replacement is easy for each of them.

Open the tailgate and place a hydraulic support stand underneath to prevent it from falling when you remove the struts. To do this, simply lift the upper clips with a flat screwdriver, as shown in the video, and pull them out of their seat.

In the same way, detach them from the lower attachment.

The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
