Hey all,

My hatch doesn't like to stay open. I need to replace the hydraulics deals (which I don't even know the name of). Has anyone done this? Is it complicated? Where would you suggest buying new ones.

Thanks!

 

Going to move you to the Stock Problems/Issues.

Pretty sure you are referring to the struts/liftarms/strongarms. Prices will vary. Most of the NAM Vendors sell as well as Amazon and Ebay.

 

Gottcha, thanks

 

There should be some videos on Youtube on how to remove. You need to put a small flat tip screwdriver and pry the metal pressure clip a little. The new ones will just install by pushing the new unit over the round bearing type node that is on the car.

 

It's not complicated and should take about 5 minutes to replace them. It's easier with two people so one can hold the hatch up while the struts are being replaced.
