how do you keep the top rubber cover on the strut from coming off,everytime i get it on the top of the strut and pull it down to fix on the bottom bracket it just comes off, they look like its not long enough to me.

I think they only rest on the "bottom bracket". The lads on here know a lot more than me so I may be corrected shortly!

you may be right , thought they would cover the chrome chrome rod completely to stop any corrosion and water ingress, maybe not.

So, is it possible just to order the rubber gaiter at the top of the shock strut? One of mine has split quite badly. If so, does anyone have a part number please?
