Thanks :) Actually no :/ but you can search for the original part and than you will see there the specs, and just buy one/two with a bigger force in it :)

Ügyes, ideje nekem is lassan beszerezni hozzá a gázrugót :)
No problems at all :) i tried it also with the high pressure car washer nozzle from every angle but no problem :) I bought the car with the mat together but i think you can easily buy one on Ebay :)
Does anyone know if this would work if you have additional weight from a Wald spoiler (many 1 lbs or so) on the trunk lid. Maybe 2 struts would be good.
If you follow the link under the video and buy the spring for the e46 than it will be fine just like on the video :) On the car you have the ball joints like every other car on the planet. I red other forums where they recommend a "volvo" gas spring. The joints are the same as well but i don't receommend them because they are a littlebit shorter than what i showed you here in the video.
Hi, will 540mm length work as well and will it go all the way up because I can’t seem to find any of them that is 541 mm would be so kind if you could let me know many thanks by the way it’s for my Lexus I S250
Haha :) i take it as a compliment if you don't mind :) Honestly, i am lazy to edit a video and after this video i did nothing to my car only a carbon bulidup removing process but that's all :) Due Covid i had other things to do which is more important. I am very sorry but that's the honest true :)
The trunk on this car is very heavy to open so that's why I'm here 😁 thanks. Not sure I'm going to replace it soon tho
Try to install 2 gas springs from the Opel Corsa B 3 door version. 2 pieces are replaced and no problem with the uneven gap.
Hey, thank you for the suggestion of Corsa B struts. After install does it auto-open as in the video?
Which year for the Corsa model?
Just want to take the effort to thank you for posting this video. Save me a great deal in time on figuring this out.
Thank you very much and thank you that you left in a comment how you feel about my video :)
Great video...good explanation, pace, video. Thank you!
Great video. I definitely need this. I wish there was a power mod to auto open and close for these cars.
Thank you. Yes the closing mechanism what is missing :)
Great video, just did this on my F! (UK). 🙏🏼
I'm glad :)
Thanks bro ^_^
Thanks mate.
Thank you for your video. It really helped me out!
Your very welcome :)
Thanks - this is good to know
My trunk won’t close after I installed one, any idea what it could be?
Probably the wrong size of the gas spring :/
Loving the Lexus vids. Very helpful, keep it up. Hopefully one day you'll teach us how to install a supercharger 😁
Thanks ;)
Haha, i would love to :P
Thank you. Will this work on 3rd gen as well?
@@Nicksongs841 yes, maybe a different size but yeah :)
Thank you for that :)
thank you
Great video, thank you!
It’s a good upgrade but I will keep my OEM and lift that heavy sob like I always do im not feeling the gaps and it doesn’t open and close flush
I have some local stores that can do 550mm 200N gas springs, Do you think 2x200N will be more even than 1x 450N?
You will be good with those also :)
That gap would bug me. I also don’t want a leak. Anybody in USA? What brand parts did you use ? Oreillys ?
It doesn't leak I tried already, the gap isn't that noticable:)
Hey my trunk opens but it’s super heavy it doesn’t stay open help me??!!
I have a IS 250c convertible
Uhh that is a god question because the convertible has for sure a different type of gas springs and trunk that's why I cannot really help you with
Do you have a link for the Trunk Cargo liner in your video? I'd like to get a Lexus OEM one but no luck finding one.
Unfortunately not :/
I bought the car 5 years ago with the cargo liner in it.
Love it!
You know what struts I need for GS450H 2008 to lift like that?
Thanks :)
Actually no :/ but you can search for the original part and than you will see there the specs, and just buy one/two with a bigger force in it :)

Csak hajra, 10 perces melo ;)
Great Video, so no problems with the rain, no leaks? I really want to know where I can buy the OEM Trunk mat you have all season thank you
No problems at all :) i tried it also with the high pressure car washer nozzle from every angle but no problem :)
I bought the car with the mat together but i think you can easily buy one on Ebay :)
@@uszokrepper1 the OEM cargo mat does not exists on the eBay world
@@KL-gu7kc Then I guess google might can help you :/
Where'd you get the trunk mats from?
Ebay, 5 years ago :)
@@uszokrepper1 Thanks
Does anyone know if this would work if you have additional weight from a Wald spoiler (many 1 lbs or so) on the trunk lid. Maybe 2 struts would be good.
Yes, it will work and you will be fine with this setup also.
Any recommendations for the hood struts?
Unfortunately not :/
But how does it fit? The original ones are eyelets and the others are ball joints

I wouldn't go with the 540mm. Rather than a larger one. 548mm or 550mm will fit also :)
Hello Adam, My neighbor broke my Bracket Holes , right hand, what can i do ?
Ouch :/ Welding is maybe the right way to do this.
Are these for the hood of an E46 or a trunk?
Trunk :)
I thought it's supposed to be like that 🤣 interesting, the last year I've changed both shocks, and it's not opening the full way.
If you are purchased the original one's than they aren't strong enough. You have to upgrade them :)
Ádám Kenyeres probably, I've purchase aftermarket. Don't remember Nm. Anyway, it's not bothering me. Thank you for the video.
Does it close on its own though?
No, that is not power operated only by the gas springs load :)
Hey Adam! How’s it still holding up?
Works perfectly fine every time ;)
Koszi!
AliExpress Link pls?
IS250 2008
