2015 GTS - Engine lid strut won't stay up
Engine lid strut won't stay up.As I was getting my yearly oil change at a friend's shop on my 2015 GTS with 5,544 miles, I found out the engine lid strut can't stay up. It's no big deal. I am just surprised that both went bad in 4 years with a car that is parked in the garage most of the time.I can get them replaced at dealer but I rather buy them myself because going into the dealer is a pain.

Not sure if it is the same support strut as a TTS but part number is:
991-512-551-00 Support Cylinder
Super easy to replace, all you need it a flat screw driver to pull back the clips and release the ball joint on either end of the strut. I replaced them myself last year because my lid didn't want to stay up either.

Probably sourced from the same vendor that supplies the infamous change over valves.
