How to Install Hydraulic Gas Struts on Your BYD Seagull

Tired of wrestling a flimsy manual support rod every time you open the BYD Seagull's front hood? The Maremlyn hydraulic gas strut kit replaces it with hands-free lift, steady hold, and a built-in end damper that stops the hood from slamming. Developed from OEM vehicle data, every bracket matches the factory 1:1 holes — no cutting, no drilling, about 10 minutes to fit.

Compatibility: BYD Seagull 2023–2025 (BYD Atto 1 / Dolphin Mini in export markets).

What's in the Box

2× gas struts (left + right), 2× OEM-fit brackets, all screws and gaskets. Tools needed: a socket set (10mm / 13mm) and a screwdriver.
 

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Open and secure the hood with the original support rod.
  2. Locate the OEM holes — brackets align 1:1 with factory mounting points on both sides.
  3. Fit the brackets loosely with the included gaskets, leaving room to align before tightening.
  4. Clip on the struts — press each ball socket onto the bracket stud until it clicks, then secure the bonnet-side end.
  5. Tighten and test — close the hood fully a few times; it should rise smoothly, hold open, and close gently with end damping.

Tip: always install struts as a pair to keep the hood balanced. Once confirmed working, the manual rod can be removed or kept as a backup.
