Detailed Description

FCS 87072 is a back glass lift support engineered for the rear glass on the Kia Sportage. The listed dimensions are important for proper lift support geometry: the 11.75-inch compressed length, 18.94-inch extended length, and 6.75-inch stroke length help ensure the lift support matches the hatch glass movement and holding range required by the vehicle. If you are replacing a worn rear glass strut on a 2005-2010 Kia Sportage, this part number provides a direct reference for the correct application.

The FCS brand line identifies this as an FCS replacement part for body, glass, and related components. FCS 87072 is a practical choice when the original rear glass support no longer holds the glass securely or no longer extends smoothly. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Rear glass drops instead of staying open
• Lift support no longer holds the back glass in position
• Weak or uneven opening action at the rear glass
• Worn gas strut performance on the Kia Sportage
• Difficulty accessing the cargo area through the back glass

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the removed support before installation. Confirm the vehicle application as 2005-2010 Kia Sportage, N/A, and compare the mounting points and overall dimensions to the original part. Replace the support only after safely securing the rear glass in the open position.

Quality Assurance

FCS 87072 is listed with application-specific dimensions for the 2005-2010 Kia Sportage, helping support accurate fitment selection for rear glass service work.
