here is a picture of the locking struts for the lid. As you can see it came with gas struts fitted, but they were not up to the job once the extra weight was added. You will have the weight of the roofbox on the lid so these prevent it collapsing on you.
Where did you get the locking struts from, Oldham? Were they easy enough to fit?
As you say, our gas struts are fine when we are not carrying any additional load on our trailer lid bars, but not efficient when there is any extra weight on there.
Hi Liddenham got these at William Rigby Sheet Metal ltd Oldham they also fitted them. They needed to know the approx weight of extra bars box and contents to get the right struts.
