In this video, learn how to replace the gas struts on the rear hatch of a Toyota Aygo AB10: before starting, support the rear hatch with a hydraulic jack or a similar tool to prevent the hatch from falling on you when removing the old struts. Next, remove the parcel shelf located inside the boot.

Unscrew the fastening screw of the side trim of the hatch and disconnect the retaining ring that connects the gas support strut to the car body; remove both strut supports. You can find the parts, for example, on Amazon with code B0CRS21WNB for £40.99 with free delivery.

Snap the retaining ring back into place at the top for reassembly and screw in the fastening element of the side trim of the hatch. Refit the parcel shelf and remove the central support that was used to hold the hatch up. The job is complete.
