Mag red 02 vert Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Bought the lift support struts for the tonneau cover. Removing and replacing looks like it will exceed my physical and mechanical resources. Any suggestions will be appreciated! Hit reply, call or text 503-789-1262 Thanks!

Eddie44 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 What part of town are you in? I’m in the area of 32nd St and Thunderbird. I’m sure we can figure them out. I recently replaced the hood struts on my C6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag red 02 vert Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Eddie44, Thanks a whole bunch! A neighbor of mine made the mistake of stopping by and we got her done. Nothing to it! Ha! I held the flashlight! I’m in Casa Grande (Robson Ranch) Been gone a few years and looking forward to an ACE lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAMMER Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 WHY ARE YOU INSIDE YOUR TRUNK TO REPLACE THE GAS STRUTS AKA (TRUNK SUPPORTS) SLAMMER😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag red 02 vert Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Getting the clip off the back end of the old one to release it was the tough part. The new ones popped right on with the tonneau extended up. I think it was on Corvette Forum where a guy had his wife in the trunk. Anyway, my neighbor fitted in much better than I and we got it done. The two struts cost $9.99 on Amazon. No sales tax and no shipping. Wonder what the stealership would charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
