Liftgate Strut

Warning: When a lift gate hold open device is being removed or installed, provide alternate support to avoid the possibility of damage to the vehicle or personal injury.

Caution: Apply pressure only at the end of the liftgate/hood assist rod that you are removing or attaching. Do NOT apply pressure to the middle of the rod because damage or bending will result.

Procedure

    • Release the locking tabs on the strut.
    • Ensure the clip is fully seated when rod is reinstalled. If the clip cannot be fully seated, a new rod should be installed.
