Product Details

This FCS back glass lift support is built for rear glass applications on the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable across the 1996-2005 model years. The listed compressed length, extended length, and stroke length provide the dimensional reference needed when replacing a worn lift support on the back glass. If your Taurus or Sable rear glass no longer stays open or drops unexpectedly, FCS 84646 is the direct replacement style part to restore proper support.

FCS is the brand line identified for this application, and 84646 is the catalog part number used to identify the correct back glass lift support for these vehicles.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Rear glass will not stay open
• Lift support has lost pressure
• Back glass drops too quickly
• Uneven or weak opening action at the rear glass
• Original support shows wear or reduced holding force

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the existing support before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year and model, then compare the mounting points and overall length to the removed part. For best results, replace the support when the rear glass is fully supported and follow the vehicle service procedure for safe removal and installation.

Quality Assurance

FCS 84646 is cataloged for direct fitment on 1996-2005 Ford Taurus and 1996-2005 Mercury Sable rear glass applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
