Boot Gas Struts

James_H · Feb 27, 2013

My boot lid keeps dropping when open so I ordered some replacement gas struts.

I ordered using my reg number but seem to have received just standard 182 struts as they are too long.

The supplier says they are correct for the car but if I give him a part number he will look at it. Can anyone help me out with a Renault part number for the Trophy Boot Gas Struts.

Thanks.

Mine are also doing this but they were fine in Autumn so I'm just waiting until Spring!

Thanks, some excellent information... a bit more searching required next time

I just replaced mine with BMW 1 Series bonnet struts sourced on eBay. Perfect.

Dammit, should've gone through this forum before ordering a standard clio pair from Ebay!

Well, well, £13 lost and a lesson learned!

Standard Clio ones are far too long, they push the spoiler into the roof scratching the edge of the roof and denting / scratching out a groove in the spoiler, replace them asap!!

You need to order V6 Clio's one when ordering from a dealer. Hmm Hmm * cough cough *

But I would'nt do that as there £218.26+ Each. Part number 6020014070
I'd go down the BMW route though mate.

I have the SGS BMW 1 series struts which are fine! but they now show one for a Trophy (albeit with the wrong picture) and a different type for the normal Mk2 Clio. Might be worth calling to check before ordering though.

Mines being doing the same for awhile. They don't seem to like the cold weather.
come summer they will be working ok.
i priced them up too. Wasn't cheap

About £45 pair for decent quality pattern parts for the BMW 1 Series bonnet. Much better than trying to hold the hatch open while loading/unloading the boot!
