Colewell's Hatchback Gas Struts are precision-engineered lift supports designed to restore the functionality of your vehicle's rear hatch or trunk. Over time, factory struts lose pressure, causing the heavy rear door to sag or fail to stay open. Our replacement struts provide the lifting force needed to easily raise the tailgate and hold it securely in the open position.
Specifically calibrated for the weight of hatchbacks, SUVs, minivans, and station wagons, these car rear door struts feature hydraulic damping to ensure a smooth, controlled opening speed and a soft stop at the top, preventing stress on hinges and ensuring user safety.
| Force Rating | 200N - 1200N+. Precisely matched to OEM specs for your specific vehicle model to ensure correct lifting power. |
| Material Build | Cylinder: Heavy-gauge Steel with Black Powder Coating. Rod: QPQ Nitrided Steel (Black) or Hard Chrome (Silver) for superior corrosion resistance. |
| Sealing System | Multi-Lip Seals: Automotive-grade seals designed to withstand high pressure and extreme temperature fluctuations without leaking. |
| Operating Temp | -40℃ to +80℃. Ensures reliable operation in freezing winters and hot summers. |
Designed as a direct replacement part. Includes vehicle-specific end fittings (ball sockets, brackets) for easy snap-on installation without modification.
Built-in hydraulic damping controls the extension speed, preventing the heavy tailgate from flying open dangerously fast or bouncing at the top.
Tested to 50,000 cycles to ensure longevity. The corrosion-resistant finish protects against road salt, rain, and grime.
Provides robust holding force to keep the rear door fully open, preventing accidental closure while loading groceries or luggage.
Rear Door Lift: Provides essential lift assistance for the large, heavy rear doors of hatchback cars and station wagons.
Heavy Liftgate: Powerful struts designed to lift the heavy rear gates of SUVs and minivans with ease.
Glass Lift: Supports the independent opening rear glass found on many SUVs and pickup truck caps.
Engine Access: Replaces manual prop rods for easier and safer engine maintenance access.
Reduces physical effort to open heavy trunks and hatches.
Hydraulic damping prevents slamming and jerky movements.
Keeps the heavy door securely open, preventing accidental closure.
Built to withstand thousands of cycles and harsh weather.
Black powder coating and nitride rod resist rust and road salts.
Direct fit design allows for quick and easy replacement.
Colewell is dedicated to providing high-quality aftermarket automotive parts. Our hatchback gas struts are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and long-lasting performance.
With a focus on durability and customer satisfaction, we are your reliable source for automotive lift supports.
A: Check the part number on your old strut. If not visible, measure the extended length and check your car's make, model, and year. We can also help cross-reference.
A: Yes, highly recommended. Replacing only one can cause uneven stress on the trunk lid and lead to premature failure of the new strut.
A: Automotive struts have very high force (often 400N+). You cannot compress them by hand. Once installed, the leverage of the tailgate will compress them easily.
A: Yes, our struts are rated for -40°C. However, all gas springs naturally lose a small amount of lifting force in extreme cold due to physics.
