Pretty sure they're welded on. Are yours rusting? If so, it's a very common problem on the sedans.

I think welded also. Even if they are screwed in, it's like number 2 spot on the AUs for rust so they'd be stuck in by now.
Last time I replaced one I had it welded in.

Just thought I'd bring up something with the boot lid struts, when I replaced mine with after market ones I found that they differed from the originals in that the originals when they where opening seemed to be valved so the boot couldn't come up to fast, don't get me wrong the after market ones I have don't go up like a Cannon, but they definitely seem to come up a fair bit faster.
Just wondering if anyone else found this? |
