I now grab the closing handle and pull gently; the lid closes very nicely. Hi e3steve Did you actually buy the boot lid struts from that ebay seller in Latvia? Price is very attractive, but the OEM number 792520 quoted on the ebay listing indicates that these are struts for the hood....???  - Click Here - Original post now edited.. If you right-click on the link above (in gbl's quote) and choose "inspect element" the link returns a path that definitely states It's probably because the ebay seller in Latvia changed the listing late this week after I contacted them and pointed out their error. After some e-mailing back and forth they understood that they had erroneously been listing hood struts as being boot lid struts. They now have one listing for hood struts and another listing for boot lid struts, both matching the actual Citroën part numbers in the item descriptions. I have just ordered a set of boot lid struts. I'll keep you posted on what actually arrives in the mail... |

Update: The boot lid struts (ebay item 131335096070) from Lativa arrived. These are MagnetiMarelli brand and indeed for the boot lid. A 5-minute job to replace, and they are working great. |

Which way up do the struts go? With the boot lid in its upright position do the strut cylinders go at the top nearest the lid or the bottom nearest the base of the rear screen? | ||

Just a quick reply to this thread. I have today ordered two struts from this company SGS. £22.79 each, £51.51 inc. shipping. So 9 years later you can still get them, happy days! - Click Here - |

Hmm good luck with those and let us know if they fit! One of the boys in Scotland ordered a set but the ends were too small and therefore didn't fit. Was going to order some for myself but decided against it. |
