Bonnet struts use internal gas pressure to assist the opening movement and support the weight of the bonnet. Over time, the gas pressure weakens, making the bonnet feel heavy or causing it to drop unexpectedly. Replacing tired bonnet dampers restores smooth operation and improves safety when working around the front luggage compartment or engine bay area on Porsche transaxle models.

What Does a Bonnet Strut Do?

A bonnet strut supports the bonnet once it has been opened. It reduces the effort needed to lift the bonnet and keeps it safely raised without needing a manual prop.

A working bonnet strut helps provide:

Smooth bonnet opening Secure bonnet support Safer access during maintenance Reduced strain on hinges and mounting points Easier inspection and servicing Reliable front lid operation

When Should a Bonnet Strut Be Replaced?

Bonnet struts should be replaced when they no longer hold the bonnet open correctly or show signs of wear.

Common signs of failure include:

Bonnet slowly dropping when open Bonnet not staying fully raised Increased effort needed to lift the bonnet Weak or uneven support Oil leakage from the damper body Sudden bonnet closure Worn or loose end fittings

A failing bonnet strut should be replaced promptly to prevent accidental closure, reduce the risk of injury and protect surrounding bodywork or components from damage.
