Perfect Fit - Works Just Like The Originals Used To
I matched these to the exact model number and lift force of the originals, so they would work well. They fit perfectly and simply snap on, once you screw on the ball ends. The installation couldn't be simpler... These make lifting the camper shell rear window extremely easy, just like brand new. The opening and closing force are relatively easy, and the opened force will easily hold the window open even in heavy winds. The look and quality of these struts are good, and they have no visible leaks or problems. I expect to get many years of use from them. Highly recommended...

Works on 2006 Ridgeline
Easy installation worked great on a 2006 Ridgeline I bought. The previous owner was old n used a stick too keep the door up. No noises. Smooth operation. Strong. I think it's upgraded from stock? Can't remember but its not floppy. A-1 Replacement \\m//

Will not work with "clamp on" light switch.
These work fine. Note though if you have a Stabilus EZ Switch mounted for something like lights in your Topper, the small sleeve around the body of the strut prevent the switch from moving correctly and working. I had to use the original Stabilus strut on this side.

Ease of installation of great product.
Easy to install. Fit perfectly, just know you have to screw the ends on. Install one side at a time. They have just the right resistance for Lear high back topper. Great value.

Great for the truck bed cap
Easy install for my truck's bed cap, one was able to hold up the door which made it even easier. It is easier with help. All you need is a flat head screwdriver for this type of use

Great product!
It’s really nice to be able to open my tool box and not have the lid hit me in the head! These replacement supports are great!

No more headaches
Yes these fit and work perfectly. Might be a little be on the strong side but it's fine. I know the window won't slam down or will it fly up if the handle aren't locked.

These work great to replace the out of gas ones on my 4’ Costco tool box. The ends screw off and are the same thread so I could use the original pivot links from the original struts. 😀 hopefully they will last as long as the original ones (15 years).

Used on a 2011 F150 bed canopy as the glass struts. These worked very well - installed in November 2024 and still holding up perfectly in May 2025. There is a pretty good amount of tension/ stiffness to them which is what was needed.

I have a 2011 F150 with a fiberglass LEER canopy, aluminum framed glass window, and the 16" 28lbs were the perfect fit and pressure for mine.
