Does anyone know if those Gas Struts that hold up the deck lid can be adjusted? I replaced mine and within a few months they would not hold up the trunk lid. I am wondering if you can adjust the stiffness like on a screen door strut.
Experience with the Gas Struts that hold up the Trunk Lid?

If there new and not working see if you can get them replaced by warr. They shouldn't give out that quick.

You are right and wrong at the sametime. The GAS SPRINGS in the cars are sealed and can not under any curcumstance(sp) be recharged. This will cause a very dangerous condition for both the person charging the spring and the person using the spring.pontiacgp said:
To dispose of it properly you must cut the spring until it vents the gas. USE GREAT CARE WHEN DOING THIS.
To cut it open, put the spring securily in a vice and use a HACK SAW than cut it open. DO NOT CUT THE END OFF! Cut it until you hear the gas leaving the spring. DO NOT USE ANY POWERED DEVICES TO CUT THE END!!!
Or you could pay a company a few dollars to dispose of the properly.
Myself or this site is NOT responsible if anything happens.
KEEP SAFTY IN MIND. If you do not feel safe doing this than don't do it.
