Vepagoo PM1013 Rear Hatch Trunk Liftgate Strut Shock Compatible with 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z Coupe 2-Door Hatch-Enhanced with Added Lifting Pressure Over OEM, 16657, 90452CD700

Wonderful product, great price and better than Easy install. The bonus? No issues now with wife's 20 year old Van THAT SHE ADORES.

Got these to replace the old and worn struts for my ford excursion upper tailgate, work perfect and easy install they also add a couple inches height to the tailgate to open. Just be careful when opening up since they have a bit of force due to the length. Overall highly recommend and great product.

These struts fit well into my 2013 Scion tC and for the cost I can't complain, though I will complain because these damn things are so strong that it pops open my trunk with a little too much force lol. That said the installation wasn't too hard (definitely recommend an extra set of hands).

These WILL WORK with a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4 Base (manual gas struts, not electric): Initially I thought these would not fit, because the strut housing doesn't match the OEM housing's length. I decided to try it and despite the difference, they still work perfect. The rear hatch props up high enough, and with adequate force. They have enough force that you only need to press your lift gate activating button and it opens on its own. Installation is easy if you are able-bodied; if you're smaller you may want to have someone help you prop up the gate, or have a tall propping object with you.

Support struts on our Grand Caravan were starting to lose gas and on cold mornings the power lifter couldn't open or close the lift hatch. But worked on warm days and nights. I haven't seen any difference between the old and the new, maybe it just needs to break in. Currently it seems to be more sluggish than the old struts. I will post an update if things improve or get worse. I'm just a little concerned on the body side. The head that holds it is tiny compared to the original equipment. It's only about 60% of the size of the original equipment. I'm concerned that it might be a failure point, especially in the hot Southwest Summers with the plastic becoming brittle. When changing out the struts on a liftgate for a minivan you will need a second person or a adjustable support to hold up the hatch while inserting the new strut. Do one side at a time. I've attached some photos. It's hard to see the size difference at the body mount because they're not side by side.

Watched a video on YouTube on how to remove old ones from a Sante fe 2014 sport and reinstalled these. The package was opened by someone else but the compressed strings were unused/not tampered with. Perhaps the package had been sliced open by someone unintentionally (I, myself, did not use a blade). Easy to install with a small flat head screwdriver to loosen/lift the clip. The tailgate lifts fast and with ease now! Such a better price point than going through the dealer or OEM -arts. The 3316 model was perfect for my car.

Popped right on, no problem... works just fine... even in very cold weather...

Product itself is very good. Problem is that it arrives compressed with a plastic strap around it that covers both ends. The upper end does not have the receptacle installed. Those are in a plastic bag. The threaded stud to attach it to the piston is covered by the strap. Requires the strap be cut off to access the stud. That allows the strut to completely extend. Which is too far to align with the little ball studs for attaching to the vehicle. It’s definitely not a 10min job ! The compression of the strut to make it fit is not easy. It takes a LOT of pressure to compress it. I wound up using a ratchet tie down strap that left room to push it into place once the proper fit was achieved. Plus you need to be very careful about the strap slipping off the end. The instructions say nothing about what to really expect when you’re installing the new struts. I have had experience with automotive repair otherwise I would have paid someone to do it. I’m sure a learned mechanic would know how to do such a job safely and efficiently. I’m really quite surprised that Vepago and the others are able to sell them without having a more accurate description of what is required for installation of the struts. I would not recommend anyone without experience to attempt this kind of installation.

Ultra poor quality. I installed them, they performed worst than the worn out original ones. The clips used to attach the strut to the ball joints are too flimsy and just waiting to pop out of place. Another A li Xp ress item!

Does the job and easy to install

Strut popped off by itself and the retaining clip disappeared.... i asked for a replacement (not even the whole thing) and they offered %10 off the replacement cost of the whole thing..... This is a $0.25 part that they wouldnt replace. I would have even paid a portion for a replacement but 10% off a new order (not including shipping) is a joke.

I was concerned before ordering this replacement since the boot door of the NISMO is very heavy. Replacing these Trunk Gas Shocks worked very nicely. Good product,
