      Replacing your Load Lid Gas Stays

      A particular pressure gas stay is used in relation to the weight being held. Some reasons your gas stays may fail and need replacing are as follows:

      • Gas leaking
      • Oil leaking
      • Too much weight over a long period of time
      • Aged over time with continual use 
      • Adding more weight such as bike carriers

      These can be purchased and retro fitted. As they come in different pressures we will need to know exactly what you require. Please send a photo showing the highlighted code, so we can see what you have on board:
