FAQs
Does this replace both the left and right struts?
Yes, this part number is universal for the side positions on the rear glass, but it is highly recommended to replace them in pairs.
Is this for the main tailgate or just the glass?
This specific strut (QTS128662) is designed for the rear window glass application.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, only a flat-head screwdriver is required to release the retaining clips on the existing ball joints.
Can I install this alone?
It is strongly advised to have an assistant support the weight of the glass window to prevent it from slamming shut during the swap.
What is the eject force of this strut?
The Quinton Hazell QTS128662 features an eject force of 560 N.
Troubleshooting
The window glass still drifts downward after installation
Ensure both left and right side struts have been replaced simultaneously to maintain balanced tension.
Difficult to snap the new strut onto the mounting ball joint
Apply a tiny amount of silicone lubricant to the ball joint to ease the connection process.
