Review on 🔧 BOXI Rear Trunk Gas Charged Lift Support for MERCEDES-BENZ SLK280 SLK300 SLK350 SLK55 AMG 2005-2011 - 2pcs Trunk Lift Support Shock Struts - 1717500036 Included! by Brian Kingsford

I replaced this part in my (Mercedes-Benz SLK350 2005 - Base - 3.5L V6 Petrol - 2-Door Convertible). It was MUCH easier than I ever expected. (Also, I'm not that strong, so it's not a "hard" job.) First, DO NOT remove the fastener. You do not need. Just follow these instructions: - Open the trunk! (But be careful - maybe prop it up with a broom or something - I just held it with my bare shoulder) - Pry off the clasp attached at the bottom. it doesn't need to be torn off completely, just a little. then take it out of the trunk. it should come off fairly easily - do the same with the top one - slightly lift the mounting clip. it almost opens. Slide it onto the pole. it should click into place and you can press the latch if needed. - Do the same with the bottom. Now the other side and done. Seriously, it took me about 5 minutes. (Finding a small flat head screwdriver took longer than installing!) Good luck.
