Hello All!

I've been searching youtube, google and the forum but am struggling to find a definite answer. How do you make a MK7 Fiesta automatically lift the boot lid? Direction to the best parts to use would be greatly appreciated! I'm guessing it's a simple swap of the rods with ones strong enough to lift?

    infact there on only one comapany in the world and its in germany cost around £85 for the new struts with springs and they work effortlessly

    I did this mod and 12 months later the struts failed. Not worth the effort.

    I don't mind having to replace the struts once a year, I just need to know where I buy them?
