A happy bonnet is one that stays up and does not bonk you on the head!:smiley_thumbs_up: That said I replaced my sagging bonnet gas struts yesterday with new ones sourced from The Gas Strut Guys in Victoria for the princely sum of $29.95 the pair including postal delivery. They work a treat and come with a 12 month guarantee. I am now a happy chappy:cool:
Cheers Michael

I got these the other day ,got sick of the lumps on the head after the wind pics up and the bonnet slams on ya head.
so far all good and bonnet opens up on its own and stays up even when its windy. For the price cant complain.

Regassed mine last year as Nissan struts are only one of the few that can be regassed. It was quite cheap but can't remember exact price and only took a few minutes at local place.

My problem is that the holes in the bonnet are flogged out, the strut itself seems OK, but might have to get it to a beater...
