I don't know about your Jetta, but for my '88 Cabbie, all that you need do is used a small regular screwdriver (not Phillips) and pry off the little shiny circlets. The circlets keep the struts from falling off, and they are about one-half inch in diameter.

Can anyone please tell me how to replace the struts for the trunk lid of my 2000 Jetta GLS? I'm not too much of a car person but hopefully this is something I can do on my own with a little advice. Thanks!!
