Why add a gas strut if the original can do the job?? Mike

Your right, but I don't hold out much hope for the original fittings, but I'll try what you say, see how it goes. Does it hold, if parked up or down hill. It drives my wife nuts. Must sort it, I'll go have a look now. 08 Puma 90xs BMW R1150R KXF250 Keep On Truckin |

Tightened the rear door today as well. makes a huge difference when you need to pick up a 90 lb pup into the back of the car.

Mulgo pty ltd Australia do a gas strut kit for the rear door at a very reasonable price. The only fix I think in strong wind or uneven ground.

Bolted it up tight early June and its just as lose for the past few weeks, never really held on a hill or in the wind. going to go down the road of fitting a strut, seems the most secure way. 08 Puma 90xs
