Glass shock behavior and checks
A liftgate glass support shock holds the glass section open so it does not need to be lifted by hand every time. Like other gas shocks, it loses force over time, and the glass may begin to drop or stop short of the top of its travel. A weak shock is easiest to notice when the glass is opened slowly, so try that check before deciding to replace it.
Work carefully when removing the old shock, because the glass and surrounding panel can move suddenly once the shock is released. Support the glass section with a helper before disconnecting the mounts. Keep the old shock beside the new one to confirm the mounting ends line up, and check the fasteners and brackets for wear while the glass is open.
- Test the glass slowly before deciding
- Support the glass before disconnecting
- Compare the mounting ends with the old shock
- Inspect brackets and fasteners while open
