Gas strut disconnected

[HT]

Ordinarily a gas strut coming off wouldn’t be a big deal. But, sadly I ended up with some panel damage.
Let this be a lesson to all of you.
Has anyone else suffered the same outcome.

See post 14 in this thread. I'm not sure if yours was installed incorrectly or not.

That’s bang on point, Taz. Much appreciated. I don’t appear to have a grommet. Now Curious to see if the panel damage is covered as a warranty issue!

Looks like the taillight took a scuff too. But hopefully that’s all ok - they’re like €600!
