Rear Boot Absorber

Hi,

I have changed the rear boot absorber. It was real trouble to lift up the heavy boot without those absorbers.

1) First of all, you have to remove the plastic panels and carpets. This is very straightforward, I did not capture any picture of this. Just unclip all visible clips and you'll be able to explose the absorber assembly.

2) Removing the absorber is also an easy task. But before that you have to have a stick for instance to hold the boot opened. Be very careful, make sure it stands well or else the whole boot may fall on you. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF HAPPENED, NO DOUBT IF LET SAY IT REACHES YOU HEAD OR BACK, YOU MAY SUSTAIN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN FATALITY. The best still to have a friend holding the boot opened for you while you are working inside.

On the 'ball joint' of the absorber's end, there's a locking pin. You need to use a flat screw driver to unlock this pin out. Pry them outward. The absorber will then be loose out.


 
3) The installation is simply reversal. But you do not need to worry on removing the pin. Just click the 'ball joint' together, it fits and will not loose out. Do for both ends and both sides, and you are done!








Good Luck!
