Glove box strut

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Hi Dean,
Great..I'll order it tomorrow for you.

So did anyone get anywhere with having them rebuilt then?

Nine quid postage? Not too much room for bids then.

I can't seem to find much info on glove box struts.

Mines dead. Doesn't rise the glove box

Are the S1 and S2 struts the same?

The end fittings are different.

From memory, the struts are about 180mm total, 80mm extension and 7 Newtons of force.

What are the fittings like on S2 struts, can't find a pic anywhere.

Thought there would be more info on the glovebox strut in the group unless I'm using the wrong keywords 😂
