Rear Gate -Glass Lift Shocks

[dude1116]

Got them at Autozone. They do a good enough job of holding the glass up, but man, it's scary to close. I guess I'll try re-ordering some Monroe's on RockAuto. :shrug:

Edit: Ordered. Probably should have gone this route to begin with. I think the ones I bought are actually hood lifts, although they are the right length.

Probably not! Ask me how I know why... :emotions34:

Long story short I bought the hood struts and the glass struts at the same time. Did the glass first...tested and HOLY HELL did this glass fly up. And it was EXTREMELY hard to put down. NICE! Right? WRONG. On to the hood: the struts wouldn't fit. What gives? Checked the part numbers. Got them reversed.

Oddly enough (with the Monroes) the skinnier set are the hood struts and the fatter set are the rear glass struts.

Did you have to buy a new latch, or just hammer it back straight? :happy175:

Thankfully the latch was fine, My head however... smashfreakB.gif

These are what I got and installed. I did not know they were chinese until I got the tracking info. We'll see if they last. I probably would have selected some other brand, if I had realized.

Yeah, I didn't feel like I was risking a whole lot. They work great, though. I can hit the rear window button on the remote as I approach and it pops right open.
