Boot droop is a common problem that affects the XJS when
fitted with a TWR style rear spoiler.
The torsion bars are just not up to the job after 10 years
or more of holding the already heavy boot lid open.
The solution is however quite easy. Fit Gas struts instead.
We are soon to manufacture and sell a complete kit that can
be fitted in less that an hour to your car with the minimum
of tools. Each kit will contain everything you’ll need
apart from some basic tools (drill, spanner, Screwdriver)
The kit works by installing a bracket under the hinge mounts
and another on the rear reinforcement panel and then locates
the strut. into position.
Purchase two kits and you can cut the torsion bars off completely.
we are working on an electronic boot opener as well which
will allow the boot to be opened at the push of a button.
The supplied struts have a braking system fitted which slows
its rise for the last few centimetres.
