Detailed Product Overview
StrongArm 6260 is built as a rear glass lift support for vehicles that use a pressurized strut to raise and hold the back glass. The cylinder measures 15.0 mm in outside diameter with a 6.0 mm inner shaft diameter, and its specific-fit design helps match the original application geometry. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6260 for the same application. It is listed for 2008-2012 Ford Escape, 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner, making it a direct replacement option for rear glass support service on those models.

Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Rear glass that drops instead of staying open
- Weak or slow lift action at the back window
- Uneven support when opening the rear glass
- Loss of holding force in worn lift support cylinders
- Noise or rough movement from aging rear glass struts
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify ball socket size and compressed/extended length before installation to confirm the correct rear glass lift support for your vehicle. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so the rear glass opens and holds evenly. Confirm fitment for your exact Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, or Mercury Mariner year before ordering, since this is a specific-fit part.
Quality Assurance
StrongArm states that each lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to support smoother operation and longer service life. The brand also notes that lift supports are pressurized cylinders used in automotive hood, hatch, and rear glass applications.
