GLA250 2017
My 2017 GLA250 with Hood struts

Recently had a set of Mercedes-Benz GLA X156 Strut Shock Lift Support Gas Hood Damper Kit No drilling installed on my 2017 GLA250. My husband got them from a vendor in Russia. He found out about those hood dampers somewhere in a MB forum perhaps here. They were very easy to install with perfect fit and function. The vendor also provided a video how to install them. They work perfectly with the hood. Here is a install link from the vendor, ebay vendor link and two pictures of my car with them installed. The install video is in Russian but no translation is needed.

Did you need these struts over and above what was on the car? Such a shame they won't ship to Australia.

Hi, Im from vendor. as website shown on youtube video. I know it is 2 years old, but. If you need the kit still. I ship worldwide. We havent shipped to USA, Canada and Australia for some years because of troubles for us and our customers made by standard postal serices. Now we ship to these countries. But shipping to Australia is via express courier service so it costs 40 USD. But it is fast and we know for sure that tracking is available. BTW, link shown above is not vendor's store on ebay. vendor's store is called upory.ru at ebay. I suppose it was some our reseller's store, so it has been our product installed by damaGEN007 anyway . Welcome! PM me if some questions.

$20 is economy international shipping. As I know it should work for all countries excluding Australia and Canada.

I've just bought this, for delivery to Spain, you can buy it directly from their website: https://upory.ru/catalog/mercedes_benz/mercedes_gla/

From the other AliExpress version I've seen, this one is the best looking on and it also looks better made.
