Removing gas spring
Only remove the gas spring while the lid is open. The gas spring
will then not be subjected to load and the spring piston will not
jump out of the spring housing. Prop the lid open with one hand to
prevent it dropping closed. Remove the gas spring with your other
hand.

Side lids are each fitted with a gas spring. Rear lid is fitted
with two gas springs. The following text describes how to
remove the gas spring at one mounting point as an example.

head (3) in direction of arrow. Detach spring head (3) from ball
pivot.

spring head (3) onto ball pivot until spring head (3) snaps
audibly into place.
