What It Helps Fix
- Convertible top cover that drops too quickly
- Weak or inconsistent lift support pressure
- Difficulty holding the top cover in the open position
- Rattling or unstable top cover movement
- Worn gas strut performance on a 1990-1993 Cadillac Allante
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the end fittings, compressed length, extended length, and force rating before installation. This lift support uses blade ends with .236-inch hole diameter, so the mounting points must match the original application. For reliable operation, replace lift supports in pairs when the vehicle uses a matched left/right setup, and confirm the cover moves freely before final testing.
Quality Assurance
StrongArm states that each lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. The gas cylinder construction is intended to deliver consistent support for the Cadillac Allante convertible top cover application.
