Product Details and Specifications

The StrongArm 6603 lift support is a specific fit part designed to match the exact requirements of the Kia Sorento's back glass mechanism. Its steel outer cylinder with a black finish offers durability and resistance to wear. The combination of rubber and Teflon materials helps reduce friction and noise during operation. The lift support features a 5.25-inch stroke length, allowing smooth opening and closing of the rear glass. The ball socket ends—nylon on one side and steel on the other—ensure secure attachment points with appropriate flexibility and strength. This part does not include an internal rebound spring, which is consistent with the original equipment design.

  • Check for smooth operation after installation and adjust if necessary
