My hatch struts have had it 2011 titanium,you have to push the hatch up then it holds there but don't lift on its own.

Best place to get a set from and did these Auto ones ever work where you open the hatch and goes up automatic.

    Cheers,i will have a look.

    Just had a look at there shop and £20 each strut well just over,about £41 the set,didn't thing they were that much.

    Looking around there seem the be new ones around £20 set made in the u.k and a lot of second hand ones,these SGS ones seem good.

    Good struts are a bit pricey. I had one fail from SGS, when i contacted them they asked me to send pics of the seal to which they replied saying to dispose of it and a new one was in the post. Can't fault them, also they do good value for money tool boxes lol

    I can vouch for SGS, got an engine crane from them.  

    As for auto boot poppers, they do work but I'm not sure if anyone makes them for the Fiesta?  It's a common mod on the Golfs using Fabia gas struts but I don't know of an equivalent for the Fiesta.
