Trunklid struts and spoilers

[Tom Nas <tnas@euronet.nl>]

Hi all,

After getting my new car, I noticed that the trunklid didn't come up as
easily as that on my old 80. I'd already noticed that the printing on those
struts said 'VW 0000 SPOILER', and sure enough, my old 80 had the
flush-type rear spoiler.
Now my 'new' 90q has a spoiler as well, the free-standing type. The
trunklid struts have no 'SPOILER' on them, though.

So- if you need new struts, check out if there's a version for your
specific car first. I have a feeling that mine will wear out a lot
earlier...

BTW this car has a hood strut, too. Cool! I've always wanted a car that had
one!

PS Hah! Now I _finally_ get to experience the same problems as all you
guys! ;-)
