Fitment questions
Does the Vauxhall Adam actually have a bonnet strut, or does it use a prop rod?
The Vauxhall Adam (2013–2019) uses a bonnet strut (gas strut) to hold the bonnet open rather than a traditional prop rod, so this is a genuine part on the car. If your strut has failed the bonnet will either drop under its own weight or struggle to stay up, which is a common symptom on ageing examples. A used strut from a dismantler is a straightforward and cost-effective fix.
Will a bonnet strut from a pre-facelift Adam fit my later one – does the facelift year matter?
The Vauxhall Adam received a facelift in 2017, which brought changes to the front end including the grille and bumper area, and the bonnet profile can differ slightly between pre-facelift (2013–2016) and facelift (2017–2019) cars. Because of this, you should confirm with the breaker whether the strut from the year they have matches your registration before buying, as the mounting points and bonnet geometry may not be identical across that boundary. Quoting your reg to the breaker is the safest approach.
Does the trim level affect which bonnet strut I need – for example, does a Glam or Slam use a different part to a base Adam?
Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the Adam – the strut is determined by the generation and facelift period, not whether your car is a base, Glam, Slam, JAM or any other trim. All those trims share the same bonnet and front-end structure within a given production period. You do not need to specify trim when asking a breaker for this part.
I have a 2015 Vauxhall Adam – will a strut from a 2014 car fit?
Yes, both a 2014 and a 2015 Adam fall within the pre-facelift production run (2013–2016), so they share the same bonnet and front-end structure and the strut should be compatible. Engine choice and any cosmetic packs make no difference to bonnet strut fitment. That said, always confirm with the breaker using your registration as a final check before purchasing a used part.
Does the engine size or type affect which bonnet strut fits my Adam?
No – the engine fitted to your Adam (whether 1.0, 1.2, or 1.4) has no bearing on bonnet strut fitment, as the bonnet and its supporting hardware are shared across all engine variants within the same production period. You do not need to tell a breaker which engine you have when sourcing this part. Simply provide your registration and the breaker can confirm the correct strut for your car.
How many bonnet struts does the Vauxhall Adam have, and do I need to replace both?
The Vauxhall Adam typically uses a single bonnet strut mounted on one side to hold the bonnet open. Because there is only one, if it has failed it is the one strut you need to replace rather than a pair. When buying used, make sure the breaker's strut is from the correct production period for your car (pre-facelift 2013–2016 or facelift 2017–2019) to ensure the mounting and length are correct.
