What should I do if the tailgate does not open fully?
Ensure the replacement strut matches the 728 mm length specification and that the mounting points are free of obstructions.
Troubleshooting
Tailgate feels heavy or will not stay open
The gas struts have likely lost their pressure. Replace both units immediately.
Tailgate makes a squeaking sound during operation
Ensure the ball-joint mounting points are clean and lightly lubricated.
Tailgate is difficult to close or misaligned
Check that the mounting brackets are securely tightened and the struts are fully seated on the ball studs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This strut is specifically designed for the Honda CR-V RW2 1.5 models without electronic power-lift gates. Before beginning the replacement process, ensure you have a support prop or an assistant to hold the tailgate in place, as the old struts will likely be unable to hold the weight alone. Always replace both struts simultaneously; installing only one new strut can cause uneven pressure, leading to frame misalignment or accelerated wear on the new part. Periodically wipe the metal piston rod with a clean, dry cloth to prevent debris buildup from damaging the seals.
