Pop-up light gas struts

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Pop-up light gas struts

Post by jamescarruthers » Wed Aug 06, 2014 8:25 am

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to get the pop-up gas struts these days?

I have only found Skandix.de so far and as far as I know, Volvo don't do them any more.

Does anyone have another supplier, preferably UK based, to get the cost down?

I filed mine in the round cabinet as they were making a squeaking noise (this was five or seven years ago and no ill effects) :D
