Fitted some gas struts to the rear doors. Very easy. Very quick. Such a difference. Looked online and some companies were charging about £220 for a kit. I bought the parts myself for about £60 from Amazon & eBay. Makes opening the doors easier when they're heavier with storage boxes or spare wheels on the back. Stops them from swinging shut on you on windy days or steep slopes. Guessing if you wanted to, you could remove those metal restraining brackets that keep your doors from fully opening or as I have, keep both as a safety measure.

At the rear bumper fitting I used the existing holes but in the plastic bumper hole recesses I fitted two M6 washers each side just to raise the strut pin up a little bit.
