You must both be very short as well ?? (Ah, unless you closed the top tailgate after opening the lower) .

When I did the damped tailgate modification, both straps looked like they were nearly rusted through, so I replaced both sides. If I hadn't done the mod, I wouldn't have noticed the rust inside the rubber sleeve. Worth a look in my opinion.

+1 when I did the damped mod on Sunday the original straps were fecked. The cables were ok but the bolts looked awful, so much so the left upper bolt needed creativity to remove!
