Does anyone know if it is OK and safe to install tailgate strutts on a 1998 V70 without using the pins that are supplied. I cannot see any way I can inset these pins once the strutt is installed. ??

The pins are a safety item I would use them.

You can get them on keep trying! Shouldn't be that hard. How did you take the old ones off? Do the opposite thing. Post a pic of the problem maybe we can help you.

Hi, thanks for your response. Actually the old ones dont have the pin inserted in them - I assume for the same reason but they do seem to be a bit sturdier than the replacement ones.
