Celica Tailgate Struts

[ledwards59]

Hello There,

I have a 51 plate Toyota Celica VVTI 140, I have a problem with the 'tailgate struts' as they do not keep the boot open. I was quoted by Toyota about 350 for the new struts and fitting, to me this seems rather alot and am sure I can acquire these cheaper and fit them myself.

So firstly how would I go about getting hold of these new struts and what type do I require?

How much are they?

Are they easy to fit?

Thanks for your help

The new struts will set you back £90 each NEW

There are people who re-gas them, TBH you dont want to be faffing around fitting these struts if you can possibly avoid it
