What These Gas Struts Do

These gas springs are fitted between the rear body structure and the separately opening tailgate glass. The internal pressurised mechanism assists lifting the glass and helps hold it securely in the raised position.

Worn gas springs may cause the rear glass to become heavy to lift, slowly lower after opening, fail to remain raised or require additional manual support.

The component is mechanical and does not directly control electronic systems such as central locking, rear wipers, lighting or engine management.

Why Choose Original Factory-Fit Components?

Correct Geometry Designed around the vehicle's original mounting points, opening angle and installation position. Vehicle-Specific Fit Avoids the compromise often associated with universal components requiring altered brackets or mounting arrangements. Outstanding Value Recycled factory-fit parts can offer substantial savings against purchasing equivalent brand-new replacement components.

Fitting Instructions

Estimated workshop time: approximately 0.5 hour for both struts, assuming mounting points are accessible and undamaged.

Suggested tools: protective gloves, eye protection, secure glass support, small flat screwdriver or trim pick, protective cloth and suitable workshop lighting.

1. Securely support the rear window before removing either gas strut.
2. Replace one side at a time while maintaining independent support for the glass.
3. Carefully release the socket retaining clip using a suitable small screwdriver.
4. Disconnect the original strut from the ball mounting points.
5. Compare length, socket design and orientation before fitting the replacement.
6. Securely push the replacement sockets onto their ball studs and confirm retention.
7. Repeat on the opposite side.
8. Carefully test the rear glass through several controlled opening and closing cycles.
Gas springs are pressurised. Do not cut, puncture, heat, drill, crush or dismantle them. Use a qualified technician if you are unsure about safe installation.
