Opel manta gte boot struts

[Kashman]

 

Just to share..

My manta boot was failing to stay up so I changed the boots struts ..I found a perfect match from a 2013 plate corsa

thanks for that advice.

when i first got mine in 86 the hatch lifted great but it had no rear wash wipe fitted.once i fitted a wipe kit (extra weight !) it still opened but not as fast. then a few years later when i did some repairs around the glass channel and had it painted it was much slower to lift .again due to the extra weight. i know its not much but metal plus weld plus filler plus paint all adds up !. 

eventually as the struts became weak i doubled up on one side and this has worked great and still does but il have a look for some corsa struts.

You welcomE

I went through quite a few struts before I got to the corsa... I measured the manta struts against my sisters corsa then removed them off the corsa to see and they are the exact same size soo I brought 2 from ebay and fitted them last nite : )

They do sell replacements for the manta. Not hard to find.

Anything manta replacement may be a lil expensive
