Tailgate Gas Strut

Tailgate Gas struts are the small black pneumatic rams that hold your boot or tailgate up when you open it. Over time boot struts can become worn and loose effectiveness and this will manifest itself in a boot lid that won’t stay open or is extremely heavy to lift. They’re cheap to replace and you can do it yourself in a few minutes with some basic hand tools.

Tailgate gas struts are designed to provide a smooth and controlled opening and closing of the tailgate, as well as to keep the tailgate in place when it is open. Tail gate gas struts are commonly used on hatchbacks, SUVs, and other vehicles with a tailgate.

Over time, tailgate gas struts can wear out or become damaged, which can cause the tailgate to become difficult to open or close. If you are experiencing problems with your tailgate, it may be a good idea to have gas struts for tailgates inspected and replaced if necessary.
