Purchased from Bavarian Autosport for $121.95 plus shipping, used for my strut replacement.
I am asking $100 plus shipping for the toolset.

Here are photos of the tools and the strut replacement process.

Here is a writeup from this forum with instructions from the TIS.

You will need two each
51248190688 Hatch Window Strut ($30 to $45 each from Autohaus Arizona)
51248220072 Tailgate Strut ($57 each from Autohaus Arizona)

I have been reading since I got the Touring in November 2005, so I guess this is also my introductory note.
