Boot lid hydraulic/pneumatic rams ........are mine weak ?

[Anonymous]

Not sure if this is an issue or not but I've noticed that when I pop the boot lid open and raise it by hand the lid hydraulic/pneumatic rams seem very lazy and I have to assist the opening by hand all the way up. It holds ok when up but seems overly heavy when lifting . I have my weetabix each morning so not an issue as such but can't help thinking that maybe the boot lid should raise itself like the bonnet does once over the initial lift ?

Mines the same. I changed the rams when I first got the car ( non OEM rams) and it hardly made any difference. I think its just a poor design

It's either a poor design, or the corrosion is weighing down your boot lid
