| Re: VRS Leaking Rear Hatch Struts What causes the leakage? Just wear and tear (would doubt less than 3yrs use would break them) or do seals fail? Steve

| Re: VRS Leaking Rear Hatch Struts Yes the car has just 10k on the clock and a little over a year old. So thought I would get them changed next year. (Keep wiping the excess oil off) Just wondered if others had the same problem and the replacements were now leak free?  |
