SGS custom make gas struts and aren't expensive. Just get the numbers off yours and call them. New struts for the boot on my Saab - about £60 pair.The strut should have some identification marks/numbers to identify them, then contact somebody like SGS engineering they might even re-gas yours. https://www.sgs-engineering.com/gas-struts
Just stick the number on the side into google. The one with Nm after it is the strengthDoes anyone have a generic part number for the cab bed gas struts?
Ours are pretty lazy, I can get a pair from Travelworld for £438.00 but I bet they are only £50 each from a strut supplier but to do that, you need a bit of detail that I don't have such as the force of the strut.
Any clues?

How much?Thanks to all who replied, I was being a bit lazy and hoping that someone would have the number of the strut to save me from stripping out the strut before buying the new ones.
So I have just pulled one strut out and they are Stabilus Lift-O-Mat 2046LV 1900 newton struts.
Not easy finding Stabilus struts however I have ordered pattern replacements as follows.

There is practically no risk to the windscreen, just make sure that you support the bed well in the raised position as that is where it needs to be to get one end of the strut onto the pin.Thanks for the replies, still doubtful about trying to do it myself.
If I come back on asking where to get a replacement windscreen then you'll know I tried and failed

I know the Hymer you mean, I quite liked the look of those some years ago, it looked well built.Thanks again, I think that I understand better now, I'll have another look.
It's a 2001 Hymer S650.
Hymer made a limited number of them to celebrate the turn of the century, made from 2000 and discontinued the model in 2006.
It's a lovely van and incredibly well made , weighs about 4500 kilos and just 6.5 meters long on a Merc sprinter chassis with twin rear wheels.
