Does anyone think these will fit ?

Half the price as well.

They may do as they have to 515nm to lift the boot up which these are.
Thanks.
Bought these, last pair,

Will report back if they work.

Check which size to get though.

Edit,
Forget the above they do not fit.
They look about 12 mm to long.
I looked on the internet and for my Seat Leon SC they should be 483 mm long, the ones i bought are 495mm.
So anyyone who has fitted them to there seat leon have you a 5 door car with different
length struts ?
Has anyone any idea how i can get these to fit ?
Yes just done it with those. Got them off ebay for £27

Hi I'm after some of these too, you couldn't possibly post a link to the right one please!
How’s everyone getting on with this mod after using it for a while?
I had the same done on my old mk5 golf and found in the cold the boot wouldn’t always pop. Something to do with the gas in the cold.
Also no issues with the boot warping? Also a common occurrence with the mk5.

Still working great on mine... Fitted them last August. Post #40.
Agree with you about the cold.... But I just squirted a little silicone grease on the struts and it seemed to help..
Still a great MOD. Still a great workout shutting the boot... Lol

Agree re cold but as above you can sort that.
Warping - no issues much more about bonnet struts that people worry about the warping but that was on the Mark 2, not seen it on the Mark 3 yet.

Had mine 3 months (post #67) - also find it doesn't pop in cold weather. I've also developed an intermittant fault where the badge release doesn't work, but no idea if strut related, seems unlikely.
Boot warping?
There were a few cases on the mk5 golf of the stronger struts slowly causing the boot to warp over time when it was closed and caused the rear screen to shatter.
Was something to do with the pressure on the edges when the boot was closed.

Had mine a couple years now and no issue so far, certainly not heard of anybody on here complaining of this sort of issue.
