Detailed Description

The FCS 86253 back glass lift support is built for rear glass lift applications on the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. Its 12.28-inch compressed length, 18.31-inch extended length, and 6.02-inch stroke length provide the travel needed to support the back glass through opening and closing. For buyers searching for a rear window lift support for 2007-2017 Ford Expedition or a back glass strut for 2007-2017 Lincoln Navigator, this part number 86253 is the direct service reference.

FCS identifies this component under the FCS product line for body and glass-related repair work. Use it when the rear glass no longer stays open, drops unexpectedly, or moves with reduced control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear glass that will not stay raised
• Slow or weak lift support action
• Back glass dropping too quickly
• Uneven or inconsistent opening effort
• Wear-related loss of support on the rear hatch glass

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm vehicle application by model year and rear glass configuration on the Expedition or Navigator. Replace worn lift supports in a controlled manner so the back glass can be supported safely during service.
