Detailed Description

This Tuff Support back glass lift support is specified for the 2005-2011 Kia Sportage and is used at the rear glass position. If your Kia Sportage back glass no longer stays open, drops too quickly, or feels weak during operation, part number 612819 provides the correct replacement format for the application. It is a practical choice for restoring normal rear glass support on the Kia Sportage.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Rear glass that will not stay raised
• Back glass that lowers too quickly
• Weak or worn lift support performance
• Difficulty accessing cargo area through the rear glass
• Uneven or inconsistent liftgate glass movement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2005-2011 Kia Sportage before ordering. Compare the existing support length, end fittings, and mounting points to part number 612819 before removal. Replace worn supports in a controlled manner to avoid sudden rear glass movement during service.
