    Default It's easier than it looks

    Remove the plastic trim and unclip the hatch side.

    get a long screw drive place it under the strut and pry up and it should pop off.

    just pop a new one in prying down from the top and clip the other end on the hatch.


    try a search for more details, there are several very good write ups in here somewhere.


    Vee ave vays of dealing vid your kind...........
