    Default ebay bonnet struts- anything wrong with them?

    Hi guys.
    My bonnet struts seem busted- they eventually close the lid after a few seconds.

    Is there anything wrong with the ebay ones, such as the following:

    VT VX VY HOLDEN COMMODORE BONNET GAS STRUTS NEW PAIR - eBay Bonnets, Exterior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 08-Oct-09 16:48:54 AEDST)

    Easy to switch? Strait swapover?

    Many thanks

    Nah theyre fine, they do the job. Theyre better than the 90 bucks repco wanted to charge me for a set.

    All you need is a torx screw to undo the bolts and away you go. Straight swap over.
