Read this, checked mine, knackered Sad they were so rusty torx bolts rounded off, had to cut cable with angle grinder, give the ends a smack with hammer to get em moving then cut the strap off as close as possible to bolt to turn em out as the ends were rusted into one piece, all four mountings the same and on a 2007 car as well, new uns fitted and dunked in grease pot before fitting, bit messy but they aint gonna rust again Thumbs Up

After reading this post I decided to check my tailgate straps, and surprise surprise they were indeed rusty, not as bad as some examples on here but well on the way Big Cry (see pic below).
Dan at Duckworths kindly put 2 in the post and they were duly fitted today.
Before fitting I coated the metal parts with Zinc paint and topcoated in Black, also replaced the hex head bolts with stainless ones and smeared some copper grease on the bolt threads. I also coated the metal ends with silicone grease and forced some of it down the cable covering.
Will check for rust in 7 years Whistle

I was thinking of doing the 2010 upgrade to my car .
Is the same rust problem evident on that setup as well ?

So nothing has changed from P38A days. I had a couple rust away on mine. Best I check the L322.

After the last failure which was in the middle of the loop (I assume water has run down in the the outer tube and collected at the loop), I went to my local stainless steel balustrade guy (next door the coffee roaster I frequent) and got some cable off him (for the cost of a cup of coffee Smile ). I cut off the crimped ends at the pivots, and silver-soldered the stainless steel cable into the ends. I now have a spare P38A cable I bet it won't fit the L322. Ron B. VK2OTC
