Detailed Description

FCS 84372 is a rear glass lift support engineered for the back glass on select Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer vehicles. The listed dimensions, including 10.51 inches compressed length, 17.72 inches extended length, and 7.2 inches of stroke, define the support’s travel and installed geometry for the specified applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. FCS 84372 is a direct-fit replacement for 2002-2003 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer rear glass support applications within the date ranges shown.

What It Helps Fix

  • Rear glass that will not stay open
  • Weak or slow lift support movement
  • Back glass dropping unexpectedly
  • Loss of support after gas strut wear
  • Difficulty accessing cargo area through the rear glass

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle build date before ordering, since the fitment is limited to 2002 models from 03/04/2002 and 2003 models through 05/05/2003. Match the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to confirm application fitment on the rear glass. Compare the mounting points and orientation on the vehicle before installation.
