StrongArm 6869 Back Glass Lift Support

Back Glass Lift Support for GM SUVs

StrongArm 6869 is a specific-fit back glass lift support for select Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC SUVs. It uses a pressurized cylinder design to hold rear window glass in the open position with controlled movement and steady support.

Key Features

• Specific-fit back glass lift support for rear window glass applications
• Extended length: 19.65 in.; compressed length: 12.9 in.
• Stroke length: 6.75 in. for smooth opening and closing travel
• Black steel outer cylinder with rubber and Teflon materials

• Maximum force rating: 36.0
• StrongArm 6869 engineered for consistent rear glass support

Detailed Description

StrongArm 6869 is built as a direct replacement back glass lift support for vehicles that use a rear window glass strut rather than a hood or hatch support. The pressurized cylinder helps control lift and hold the glass in place, while the steel outer cylinder and nylon ball socket ends support reliable operation in daily use. This part number is a fitment-specific solution for 2015-2020 Cadillac Escalade, 2015-2020 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2015-2020 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2015-2020 GMC Yukon, 2015-2020 GMC Yukon XL, and 2016-2019 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD. StrongArm 6869 also cross-references AMS Automotive 6869 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear glass that will not stay open
• Weak or slow lift support action
• Back window glass that drops unexpectedly
• Uneven or inconsistent opening force
• Noise or binding from a worn lift support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application before installation and confirm the ball socket end style matches the existing rear glass support. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage before replacing the strut. For proper rear glass support and balanced operation, replace lift supports in pairs when the vehicle uses two supports.

Quality Assurance

Each StrongArm lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards for smoother operation and longer-lasting performance. StrongArm 6869 is built to meet the demands of rear glass applications on Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon models.
