Trunk Strut Reviews - 2003 Mercedes SL500

Stabilus | W0133-1830367

I have a 2003 SL500 with a trunk that wouldn't stay up. These strut's are the exact fit replacement for the two existing struts.

We have a condo in Hawaii at the beachvillaresort.com and I think the salt air wasn't good for the vehicle. So I've brought it home to Texas and am updating the vehicle.

The strut was easy to swap out, it helps if you have someone who can push the trunk lid up while you try and slide on the new struts.

1) Take a small screw driver and pop off the metal ring at the top and bottom of the existing strut.

2) Pull off the strut by tapping the top and bottom to release the strut from the ball. Think of it as your hand holding a baseball. Your removing your hand from the ball.

3) Connect one end of the new strut onto the existing ball. Cylinder/Piston is the top side, shaft is towards the bottom.

4) Have someone push up the trunk lid so that the other end of the strut can fit onto the ball. Snap it in place.

5) Repeat on the other side. That's it!

I am very happy with my recent purchase at Parts Geek. It was a trunk strut for a 2003 SL500 Meecedez Benz. The strut fits perfectly. And it is just like the original. Easy installation too. The only tool I needed was a screwdriver. Three days delivery- not bad at all. And the best thing of all is, it is real cheap.

After checking web sites I found the best prices on your site with quick delivery. It is hard to find parts and a rep said you did not carry a part that I was looking at on the site. I gave him the number and he then found it. Also it's almost impossible to find your phone number and reach anyone.
