Dan7690 10 Posted December 21, 2014 I'm thinking of fitting some nice gas bonnet struts to my g60. Just wondered if anybody has done this yet and what's the best way to fit them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted December 21, 2014 Mk3 Golf boot struts and they can be fixed using the top bonnet mount and one of the bolts that secures the wing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan7690 10 Posted December 21, 2014 Really as easy as that!? No drilling, no cutting or messing about? Think I've even got a mate breaking a mk3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted December 21, 2014 No its dead easy. You can use the strut ball joints in the place of the original securing bolts as they're the same thread size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan7690 10 Posted December 21, 2014 Sounds awsome, il have a look next week. Cheers Sean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 21, 2014 You're having a laugh aren't ya Sean - when I asked this a few years back I was told you had to drill here, tap there and watch out for the spot weld here, mind that there etc so I gave up. If it turns out to be this easy someone's gonna get a fist shaken at their profile... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted December 21, 2014 Pretty sure it's exactly the same as the mk3 boys do it. Only other thing I haven't mentioned is to remove the rubber/Foam damper bit on the shut. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swiftkid 1 Posted December 21, 2014 My mate did it to his and ended up taking them off as the weight of the bonnet just bent the struts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted December 21, 2014 Not on the Corrado I'm afraid chaps. I did it on my mk3 Golf and it's pretty much the same securing arrangements iirc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
