Common Replacement Symptoms

• Rear hatch or glass drops instead of staying open
• Weak or slow lift action when opening the rear panel
• Uneven support or inconsistent holding force
• Loss of pressure in the original lift support
• Difficulty accessing the cargo area on Camaro or Firebird rear openings

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and rear position before ordering. Compare the compressed length, extended length, stroke, and 10 mm ball socket ends to the original support for proper match-up. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so the rear opening operates evenly and the support load is balanced.
