Hey,
I'm having a problem with my tailgate... It keeps falling on my head when I try to grab something from my boot..
I'm driving a 1998 Puma (without the 3rd braking light) and looking for new gas struts.
After reading another thread here someone mentioned that the right sided gas-strut is not available due to wire connected to it (suppose this is used for the 3rd brake light?)
After searching through eBay and Google I found a lot of examples saying that both left and right are equal, But I have my doubts about that, Is this true?.
Also read about people with spoilers using stronger gas struts(Fiesta ones I believe?). Might be interested in that too?
