Post subject: HELP wanted
I have a 1998 Toyota Celica GT 2.00 convertilble. The rear strut holding the roof up has sheered in half. As the hood is electric it will not go up or down. I have had an extortionate quote to repair it!

Anyone got any ideas how I can replace the sheered part.

Alternatively anyone interested in a mechanically sound, well maintained beautiful car with 100,000 on the clock!

the correct parts.

Are you talking about one of the bows across the roof or are you talking
about one of the hydraulic rams?
