The eject force is 110 N, providing reliable assistance for lifting the rear window.

What are the main dimensions of this strut?

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.

Can I install this myself?

Troubleshooting

Gas strut does not hold rear window open

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.

Difficulty installing the gas strut

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.

Rear window closes too quickly or slams shut

This indicates the gas strut has lost its pressure. Replace the gas strut with a new one that matches the specifications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Restores original functionality of the rear window lift support.
  • Designed to meet manufacturer specifications for compatibility.
  • A direct replacement part reducing installation complexity.
  • Ensures smooth and controlled operation of the rear glass.
  • High eject force (110 N) for effective lifting assistance.

Cons

  • Only compatible with specific CITROËN C4 GRAND PICASSO models and years.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
