FCS 86615 Back Glass Lift Support

Back Glass Lift Support for Explorer and Mountaineer

Restore controlled opening and holding action for the rear glass with the FCS 86615 back glass lift support. This gas-charged support is specified for the rear glass on select Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models, with dimensions that help match the original lift support geometry.

FCS 86615 is built with a 12.17-inch compressed length, 19.25-inch extended length, and 7.09-inch stroke length. Those measurements are important for rear glass applications because they determine how far the glass opens and how securely it stays supported during use.
