Works wells. Just what we needed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gas Pressure Like Crazy *by T***F on December 17, 2023* These gas struts are typical of most aftermarket gas struts for automotive use: they are built well though a bit longish and contain almost too much gas. They were easy to install on my Mini Cooper's rear hatch; in literally 2 minutes using a pry-tool, I installed -- one of them. The other on the opposite side of the hatch is still an old one. Now the hatch swings up smooth and steady. If I'd installed both new struts, the hatch would open too hard and fast, and would've required both my arms to force it shut. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They work *by T***. on February 2, 2024* Was easy to install about 5 min with a flat head screwdriver and just pop the new ones on. they are pretty strong. ## Frequently Bought Together - 2Pcs Rear Back liftgate tailgate Hatch trunk Struts Lift Supports Compatible With MINI COOPER (08-02) (Note: Not for Clubman & John Cooper Works Split Door) Shock Gas Spring Prop Rod - Qty(2) QiMox Hood Lift Supports Shock Struts Compatible with Mini Cooper 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 R50,R52,R53 6309,SG202008,51237066566 - ZIXMMO 19"+18" windshield wiper blades with 10" Rear Wiper Blades Set Replacement for 2005-2006 Mini Cooper R50 R53,2007-2012 R56,2014-2022 F55 F56-Original Factory Quality，Easy DIY Install (Set of 3) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/268236876-2pcs-rear-back-liftgate-tailgate-hatch-trunk-struts-lift-supports](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/268236876-2pcs-rear-back-liftgate-tailgate-hatch-trunk-struts-lift-supports) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
