Detailed Description

This StrongArm 4646 lift support is engineered for rear glass applications on 1996-2005 Ford Taurus and 1996-2005 Mercury Sable vehicles. The pressurized cylinder helps hold the back glass in position while providing controlled opening and closing action, with dimensions and force output matched to the application.

Built with a steel outer cylinder, nylon ball socket end, and swivel eyelet end, StrongArm 4646 is made for direct replacement use on the listed Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable fitments. The 10.46-inch compressed length, 16.79-inch extended length, and 6.33-inch stroke length are important when matching rear glass support geometry on these vehicles.

What It Helps Fix

  • Rear glass that will not stay open
  • Back window glass that drops too quickly
  • Weak or inconsistent lift support pressure
  • Binding or uneven rear glass movement
  • Worn support hardware on Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable rear glass assemblies

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and end fittings before installation. For rear glass service, replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced support and consistent operation. Confirm the vehicle application against the listed fitment for 1996-2005 Ford Taurus and 1996-2005 Mercury Sable before ordering.
