ormi you have to buy special ones that only come in pairs and they are expensive..
also if you let the gass out you can let out too much then you have to send them away for a refill

What makes them "special"?

Wont any the right size do the job?

And how much is expensive?

Do you have one fitted Ormi?

no the right size wont mate (the size is 440mm) if you get a normal 440 one theirs no way of adjusting the pressure and they are too powerfull..
the correct ones are approx 50-60 plus p&p i think and a refill if you get it wrong is approx 20 plus p&p..

I have boot strut on the SC so i wonder if these would work the same.
These have to lift up to allow the roof to fold away.
Think these are also around £60 each

Yes my car has no choice, as it need to put the roof away remotely
IS200 driver want to push their remotes on their keys and their boot lifts & raises fully open.

What is different between between what the IS200 and my car, both cars need the boot to be opened and lifted into position.

The struts that people want on their IS200 will hold the boot up so i dont see the difference.

but arnt yours hydraulic actuators rather than simple struts, as it closes the boot after the roof is down, or does it have a 2 way hinge system?

I wonder if someone could find the mechanism on an SC430 at a breakers and fit it to an IS200 to make the boot open and close remotely......where's Rabs, sounds like a job for him Smile

I think it must have a two way hinge system.
The boot opens different ways depending if your opening the boot or opening the roof.
