Boot strut replacements

[astrozombies]

I think the boot struts on my '04 2.2 CDTI accord tourer have gone. The boot was open and suddenly slammed shut (luckily with nobody in the way!) and now it will not support itself or go up/down unaided.

I have found the following struts for sale - can anyone confirm they will fit and are of good quality? Do I need any other parts to fit the replacements?

Hard to tell as there's no photo to see but it looks right.
Just remember that you have 2 struts and that is for one.

I replaced mine a while ago, the ones I had were handed. Not sure why but it's just worth noting that the Honda ones and my aftermarket ones were handed.

When you do the job be sure to have a STRONG piece of wood or stand for the boot lid to rest on. It's heavy, and I mean heavy. Don't count on your mate holding it for you because they won't.

I just put an order in for my struts today honda have 2 part numbers but SGS say they are the same strut

HONDA OEM OS / 04741-SED-900
NS / 04746-SED-900

SGS PART NUMBER IS / GSC1430

hope this helps
