Troubleshooting
Boot lid does not stay open or falls shut.
This indicates the gas struts have lost pressure. Replace the old struts with new ones. Ensure both are replaced for balanced operation.
Boot lid is difficult to lift.
Worn or damaged gas struts can cause stiffness. Replacing them with new ones with the correct eject force (505 N) should resolve this.
New strut does not fit properly.
Double-check the part number compatibility (QTS828386, LR044158, LR062122) and verify the vehicle model and year. Ensure the strut is oriented correctly during installation.
Uneven lifting of the boot lid.
This usually occurs when only one strut has been replaced. Replace the second original strut with a matching new one.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check:
Before installation, verify that your vehicle is a Range Rover Sport L494 model manufactured from 2013 onwards and that it does *not* have an automatically opening tailgate. Confirm that your existing struts match the OEM part numbers LAND ROVER LR044158 or LR062122. The strut's dimensions (684 mm length, 22 mm housing diameter, 505 N eject force, 220 mm stroke, 10 mm piston conrod diameter) should also be cross-referenced with your vehicle's specifications.
Installation:
Installation typically involves releasing pressure from the old struts, removing retaining clips or bolts, and installing the new struts in the same orientation. It is often recommended to replace gas struts in pairs to ensure balanced lift and prevent undue stress on the tailgate structure. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is advised if you are not experienced with automotive repairs.
Care:
Gas struts are sealed units and generally require no user maintenance. Avoid applying lubricants to the piston rod, as this can damage the seal. Keep the strut body clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Protect the strut from excessive dirt and debris.
