Just bought an 1986 Porsche 911. The car is in excellent shape, however both my hood and hatch struts are not functioning - thus i'm using a wooden stick to prop up the hood and hatch. Do anyone have any experience removing and reinstalling new hood struts? I bought a porsche repair manual - but it doesn't outline the procedures. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

It's a very basic procedure. Look at the strut, and you should be able to figure it out. There isn't anything but removing the old ones and putting the new ones on.

 

Thanks PorscheDoc!
