Front Trunk Lift Support Shock Struts Compatible with Porsche

Fits great - works well - great price - easy to install.

Perfect fit. Easy to install directions and great price compared to OEM.

These are a real bargain compared to oem parts, and at least to start, they provide plenty of lift. I do not think my sweet Boxster GTS will mind a minor Chinese part. All you need is a very small flat head screwdriver (or pick) to pry up the clips to get the old ones off. See attached pic of original one I removed, showing where to stick your pry tool. The clip doesn't come off - just comes out enough to allow removal of the strut. I found it easier to remove the top first, then you can rotate the strut to get better access to the bottom clip. The replacements pop directly on, with no need to loosen the clip. Do prop up your hood, because when you pop off the first one, the hood will come down.

Like many other 991/981 Porsche's, the front hood struts on my 2015 Cayman (981) had become weak, and would drop the hood if a slight breeze pushed on it. In looking at OEM replacement units, they were $38 to $50 each, depending on where purchased. I am usually a strict OEM part replacement guy, yet for under $20 for a pair, I thought I would give these Hood Struts a try. The new units are made in China, yet are a very close copy of the original units. They fit well, and function just like the originals when new. They even came with the dap of grease in each socket. Replacement was less than 10 minutes, as the mounting clips are identical to the originals. With the originals lasted less than 6 years, I figures that if these last 2 years, they will be better than the OEM parts for the cost.

These fit my 2014 Boxster after the original ones failed and wouldn't hold the front trunk lid up at all. The new ones gladly push it right up as expected. It's incredibly easy to remove the old and install the new. The dealer quoted me $346 which is a far cry from my $29 total cost with these struts. To install them, you just need to hold the hood up while you replace them and I found that a broom did the trick, putting the bristles down in the frunk and the handle holding up the hood, stuck in a round hole. If these fail prematurely, I'll come back and update this review.

These were an easy install. Less than five minutes. Use a screwdriver to pop the holding ring off the old struts and just pop off the struts. Make sure you have a helper to hold the trunk up or some other mechanism – I stuck a broom handle under the frunk. The new struts pop right on. Make sure you adjusted the angle of each ball joint before you pop them on.

These replacement hood/trunk lift supports wok great. I replaced the ones on my Porsche 991.2 model of 911 and they are every bit as good as the original ones. It takes 15 minutes to change them yourself and you can easily save $400-500 by doing this yourself instead of your dealer. Yes, unfortunately these are made in China and not Stuttgart.

Worked great for my 2014 Boxster. Original struts on the car were falling and causing it to hit my head. These came quick and just took a small flathead screwdriver to remove the c clips on the old ones. New ones hold the front trunk up easily and now help in the upward movement of the frunk.

Fitted to a 2013 Porsche Boxster 981S frunk. Very easy to install, the quality appears good and they work well so far.

The struts were exactly what I ordered and at a fraction of the price quoted by my dealership.
