Overview
The Omix-Ada liftgate glass support strut, part number 12012.32, is a replacement strut that holds liftgate glass up. The strut fits either the driver side or the passenger side, and its UPC is 804314279721.
It replaces worn struts, so the liftgate glass stays up without being propped open with a stick.
Signs a liftgate strut is worn
A liftgate glass support strut uses gas pressure to hold the hatch up. As the seal inside wears, the strut loses force, so the hatch may drop slowly, need a push to stay open, or fail to lift on its own. Heat, cold and repeated use all speed up this wear.
Struts are often replaced in pairs when both have seen similar use, because a new strut paired with a weak one can load the hatch unevenly. When swapping a strut, support the hatch while the old one is removed, and keep fingers clear of the mounting points. A replacement should lift the glass smoothly and hold it in position without bouncing.
- Hatch drops slowly after opening
- Hatch needs a push to stay up
- Visible oil or leak around the strut body
