This Quinton Hazell QTS828301 Boot Gas Strut is for owners of CITROËN C4 GRAND PICASSO models needing a replacement rear window support. Its primary benefit is restoring smooth, assisted opening and closing of the rear glass. A key consideration is that it's specifically for the glass portion of the tailgate, not the entire boot lid. This part features precise dimensions for a reliable fit and is designed to provide a consistent 110 N of eject force.

This gas strut is specifically designed for CITROËN C4 GRAND PICASSO models with 1.6 16V petrol engines (07/2008-12/2010 and 10/2008-08/2013) and 1.6 HDi diesel engines (10/2006-06/2011).
This specific gas strut (QTS828301) is designed for the rear window (glass only) of the CITROËN C4 GRAND PICASSO.
The eject force is 110 N, providing reliable assistance for lifting the rear window.
It has a length of 589 mm, a housing diameter of 18 mm, and a piston rod diameter of 8 mm, with a stroke of 250 mm.
Installation is possible for individuals with basic mechanical skills and appropriate tools. However, if you are unsure, professional installation is recommended for safety and correct fitment.
This part is cross-referenced with KILEN 416044, MONROE ML5959, and STABILUS 024452, 4044XV.
Avoid cleaning the strut shaft with lubricants. Keep mounting points clean and check periodically for proper function.
Ensure the strut is correctly installed and fully seated at both mounting points. Verify the eject force is sufficient for the weight of your rear window. If the issue persists, the strut may be faulty and require replacement.
Ensure the vehicle is stable and the window is adequately supported. You may need to apply slight pressure to align the mounting points. Avoid forcing the strut, as this can damage it or the vehicle bodywork.
This indicates the gas strut has lost its pressure. Replace the gas strut with a new one that matches the specifications.
Compatibility Check: Before installation, verify that your vehicle is a CITROËN C4 GRAND PICASSO and falls within the compatible engine and production dates specified. Cross-reference the part number QTS828301 with your vehicle's requirements or consult a parts specialist.
Installation: Installation typically involves safely securing the rear window, removing the old gas strut (usually by releasing clips or bolts at each end), and attaching the new strut. It is recommended to have a second person assist with holding the glass during replacement. Always consult a professional mechanic if you are unsure about the installation process.
Care: Gas struts require minimal maintenance. Ensure the mounting points are clean and free of corrosion. Avoid applying lubricants to the strut shaft, as this can attract dirt and debris, potentially damaging the seal. Periodically check that the strut is functioning correctly and not leaking any fluid.
