Question about trunk struts...
I am going to replace my trunk struts, I found 2 different part numbers I don't know which one I should go with, 2309800264 w/remote controlled lock, 2309800164 w/o remote, I searched on google and both part number seems to fit the "01-12 SL55", mine is 04, can anyone tell me what is remote controlled lock?????

My 'guess' is that it refers to the feature where the switch on the driver's door panel (behind the seat adjusting switches) 'unlocks' the trunk when you pull it inwardly.
BUT - it might relate to a system that automatically opens the trunk lid via an electric motor (my 2003 does not have that feature, don't know whether any of the SL55's do, but my Audi A8 has it).

Check this out. $58.40 for a pair shipped. Much better price than at the dealer.

Here is a pair for ~$55 plus shipping that have a lifetime guarantee (might just be the lifetime of the struts, which the seller can declare as dead whenever he/she chooses!!). But, I recently installed a pair of these in my '2003 SL55 AMG, (electrical unlatch, but manually open) and they function well.
