tailgate gas struts do not work on my 1991 carina 2 liftback

[pirana]

my name is Patrik, living in Belgium nearby Antwerp 🙂

The tailgate gas struts aren't able to keep my car trunk open

These gas strusts seem to be some kind of unique Toyota part made in one piece with a small plate of steel to be attached to the car on both sides of the strut ...

Therefore it looks like they can only be replaced by an original Toyota part ...?!?

I'm looking since some time to find replacements but I'm not able to find them

Somebody can help me with these? someone can repair them? Where to find a replacement? ...

Have a set here if still needed. Drop me a message.

Fully aware that this is a two year old thread, but like a message in a bottle, it may reach its destination at some point...
