If your Honda Element's liftgate keeps closing while you're unloading cargo, it's time to change your strut. Replace it with this custom fit gas strut and make your liftgate operate like new again. Quick, tool-free installation.

Specs:
Note: Always replace your struts in pairs, where applicable. Most liftgates have a strut on each side. Failure to replace both struts can result in a warped or damaged hinge.
Gas Strut with Exceptional Stability
Most gas struts consist of a tube filled with pressurized nitrogen gas, a piston, and rod. The Atlas Lift strut, however, has a dynamic damping groove inside the tube that regulates gas movement across the piston. This ensures your liftgate stays open when you want it open and shuts slowly without bouncing or slamming. Lastly, in contrast to struts that only have gas in the chamber, a few drops of oil have been mixed in to help seal the piston and lubricate the rod. This allows your liftgate to move more smoothly as the rod travels in and out of the tube.

Hi everybody. My name is Andy with etrailer.com. And today, we're taking a look at this custom-fit hatch lift support. Now, this is going to replace one worn or damaged ball and socket gas strut for your vehicle's hatch. And this is going to fit the Honda Element from 2003 to 2011. And the dampening technology is going to provide smooth operation that's going to eliminate bouncing or jumping, and this ensures frictionless movement in all weather conditions.
Now, this arm extends to hold your hatch open and gently compresses while closing. The nylon ball and socket connectors are going to install directly to your existing original equipment manufacturer fittings, and the nitride coated steel shaft is corrosion resistant for long-lasting performance. Now, you will get one lift support, but it is also recommended that you replace these supports in pairs, so it might be a good idea to pick up another one. Now, again, this is a ball and socket type connection. And I'm gonna give you the measurement of the extended length, and I'm gonna measure from socket to socket, and we are gonna be sitting right at 22 3/4 inches across, from socket to socket.
That's the extended length. And the compressed length is gonna be 15 3/16 inches long, when it's compressed. And this does have a limited lifetime warranty. Well, that's gonna do it for our look at the custom-fit hatch lift support. Again, my name is Andy.
Thank you for joining me..
