Keep the mounting points clean and avoid applying excessive force to the strut. Regular inspection for smooth operation is advised.
The gas strut may be worn out and needs replacement. Ensure both struts are replaced if one is failing, for balanced support.
Check for any obstructions or binding in the tailgate mechanism. The gas strut might also be losing pressure and requires replacement.

Compatibility: This Quinton Hazell Boot Gas Strut (QTS828299) is confirmed to fit the Citroen C4 Picasso models produced from July 2008 to August 2013. It is specifically intended for the rear glass application. Ensure your vehicle's manufacturing date falls within this range and that you are replacing a strut for the rear window.
Setup/Installation: Installation typically involves carefully removing the old gas strut and fitting the new one. This usually requires basic tools and may necessitate having the tailgate supported to prevent it from falling. It is often recommended to replace gas struts in pairs to ensure even lifting force and longevity. Refer to your vehicle's service manual or consult a professional if you are unsure about the installation process.
Care: Gas struts require minimal maintenance. Keep the mounting points clean. Avoid applying excessive force or leverage to the strut, as this can damage the seal and lead to premature failure. Periodically check that the strut is functioning smoothly and holding the tailgate securely.
