FAQs

Is it recommended to replace both gas struts at the same time?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace struts in pairs to ensure even lifting force and prevent structural strain on the window hinges.

What tools are needed for installation?

Generally, basic hand tools such as a screwdriver or trim removal tool to release the retaining clips are sufficient, but refer to your vehicle's service manual.

Can I compress the strut by hand before installation?

It is difficult to compress a functional 200 N strut by hand; it is best to install it as-is according to the mounting sequence provided by your vehicle manufacturer.

How long should a Febi gas strut last?

Lifespan depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions, but they are designed as long-term wear components that typically last several years.

What does the 200 N force rating signify?

The 'N' stands for Newtons, which is the measure of the gas pressure inside the strut providing the lifting force.

Troubleshooting

Window does not stay open

Check if the strut has lost pressure or if mounting brackets are loose; replace the strut if it no longer holds the weight.

Strut makes noise during operation

Ensure the strut is properly aligned and the mounting ball joints are lightly lubricated if specified by your vehicle manual.

Resistance is uneven

Inspect for bent rod or damage to the housing; confirm that both struts (if applicable) are functioning at equal pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise engineering ensures a direct fit
  • Reliable lifting force for heavy rear windows
  • Durable construction materials for longevity
  • Improves safety by preventing window collapse

Cons

  • Requires professional or competent installation
  • Not intended for non-compatible vehicle makes
  • May require replacement in pairs for balanced performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, verify that the MPN 34424 matches your vehicle's service manual requirements. Installation should be performed on a level surface with the window securely propped open to avoid injury. When handling, avoid scratching the piston conrod, as even minor nicks can damage the internal seals and lead to gas leakage. Periodically wipe the exposed rod with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove dust or grit, which can cause premature wear on the strut's seals.
