Get your Holden VU VY VZ VE VF Ute Hard Lid Cover hard lid working properly again with this pair of replacement gas struts (sized at 700mm) from Nitro Struts. Ute hard lid struts cop a hammering — sun, dust, vibration, daily loading and unloading — and when they fail, your lid won't stay up while you're trying to load gear. This direct-fit pair fixes that for a fraction of OEM pricing.

Installation Notes

Ute hard lid / tonneau cover struts take serious punishment — sun, dust, vibration, and constant up-and-down operation. Replacement is straightforward: 10–15 minutes per side, no special tools. Open the lid fully, prop it securely (a broom handle works), and unclip the old struts. Replace both as a pair — a fresh strut against a tired one will fail early from uneven loading. Take note of the strut orientation before removal so the new ones go on the same way.

Signs You Need New Struts

• Hard lid drops on its own when you let go
• Slow, weak lift — especially in cold weather
• Lid won't stay fully open while you load gear
• Visible oil residue or hissing from the strut shaft
