Bonnet & Boot Struts
Mercedes-Benz Bonnet Struts
M&B Parts supplies aftermarket bonnet struts (gas struts) to fit a range of Mercedes-Benz models. The bonnet strut holds the bonnet open safely, and a worn strut that no longer holds is a common and simple replacement.
The bonnet strut supports the weight of the bonnet when open. As the gas charge weakens, the bonnet may drop or need propping.
How Bonnet Struts Work
The strut uses pressurised gas to hold the bonnet in the open position. Over time the gas charge leaks down, and a common sign is a bonnet that slowly falls or will not stay up.
Common Signs You Need a Replacement
- Bonnet that will not stay open
- Bonnet that drops slowly on its own
- Having to prop the bonnet manually
- A strut that feels weak or spongy
- Fluid residue on the strut body
