gas struts V8 Vantage

Hi guys the boot keeps dropping down (normally on my head!) I was wondering if its possible to re-build or gas the existing struts? or any other advise?

Hey Greg,

Just did a writeup on hood & trunk shock replacement. They are dirt cheap to buy new so no point in rebuilding them.

They were OEM of course, they were not expensive. I got mine from HWM Aston Martin directly in the UK. The parts manager and email address is in my writeup thread.

Hope that helps
