Frankberg 2x Gas Struts Tailgate Compatible with Fabia II 545 5J 5J All Engine Estate 2007-2014 Fabia II 542 5J 5J All Engine Hatchback 2006-2014 Replace# 5J6827550

Purchased for father in law.They did the job and now the boot doesn't drop on his head.

Fabia 2008 Mk 2 Hatchback; read the info about fitting above (all you need is a flat screwdriver approx 4mm wide), easiest to unclip top one first. Literally took one minute to get old one off and another minute to fit the new strut. These were less than a quarter of the price of an original Skoda OEM strut and my boot door is now working perfectly. Will get back if I encounter any issues downstream! Really pleased.

Perfect for Skoda Fabia 1.2 2014 Mark IIDo yourself a favour and remove the top clip on the strut first. Much easier! Pull the rubber door insulation back a bit so you can get to the clip with a flat head screwdriver. Open the clip and just pull the strut away from the door to expose the ball shaped connector. Same with bottom clip except it's easier. Attaching the new one is dead easy. With the door fully open, the new strut fits perfectly. Just push the strut onto the connectors and it's all good. Good quality item and works perfectly.

I was going to source replacement parts from the Škoda dealer, but at £90 for a pair it seemed a little too expensive. These ones look identical to the parts that I took off the car and were extremely easy to fit. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
