I am in need. My trunk bit me last night as i was taking the food (read beer and chips) out of the trunk for the Hockey game last night. I think I should replace my the struts that hold my trunk up. Where is the best place to get these?

Thanks for the help. Like minds think the same

IIRC, they're under $30. They're always on ebay for more or less that amount too. A quick search turned this up (maybe not the right style?):<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=2412597415&amp;cat egory=33656">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=2412597415&amp;cat egory=33656</a</li></ul>

They were incredibly cheap compared to dealer price, I've seen them a few times. Don't know who the seller is. I bought a pair for what one would have cost me.

Mine are in the same condition(use a 2X4 to hold trunk open). I looked at the strut and can't figure out how to get to the far end that's hidden back beside the gas tank. Any hints ??


Thanks

Screw driver and lots of force, or a BFH...

I just ordered a pair of trunk struts for my 4000 from www.germanautoparts.com for $37.00 (18.50 ea). They are in upstate NY, near Albany.

I've bought other Audi parts from them, good folks to deal with.
