How to detect a faulty trunk lid gas strut

The component is usually checked by inspection. Traces of oil on the surface of the strut, deformation of its cylinder or the rod, loosened fasteners are the symptoms of the need for replacement. New struts are also to be installed if the trunk lid does not remain in the open position.

More detailed inspection is possible only with the removed gas strut. In order to assess its condition, try to compress the component. If the rod is easily moved by hands, the pressure in the gas strut is insufficient for correct operation of the component.
