Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years of experience, restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video we'll be showing how to replace the rear hatch struts on this 2003 GMC Yukon. This is the same for any 2000 to 2006 Yukon Tahoe or Suburban Yukon XL. The only tool you'll need is a small flat blade screwdriver.
If you have a droopy tailgate, you're probably no stranger to this: a broom holding up the tailgate. It's really easy to fix.
What you need is a small flat blade screwdriver and you'll work it into the clips by the rods. It's not a bad idea to have a helper holding up the tailgate. Pull these clips out a little bit and then pull the stabilizer off. Same thing for the bottom pull the clip off.
At 1A Auto we have the exact stabilizers that you need. They'll come with the clips in them. All you do is put them back on the clips. Make sure you have the cylinder side up and that it's on tight. On the bottom one, you'll want to lift up on your tailgate. After you do that the tailgate will stay up on its own.
We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the internet. Please feel free to call us toll free 888-844-3393. We're the company that serves you on the internet and in person.

Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear hatch support struts on this 2002 Suburban, same as any 2000 to 2006 Suburban. These commonly go bad and your hatch won't stay up on its own. The only tools you'll need are new hatch support struts from 1AAuto.com and a small flat blade screwdriver - as well as someone or something to hold the hatch up.
These four struts are held in by little clips that you just pry out with a small flat blade screwdriver, here and there. You'll want something or someone to hold the hatch up while you pry out and pull off one end of the piston. Then, repeat that for the lower one pry out and pull off. We do always recommend you do this in pairs.
Put them back on, just make sure the clips are in place on your new ones, and press it on the top. You may need to lift up tailgate a little bit and press the bottom one off.

This is my third order from 1a. Every purchase fit perfectly and was as described. Their videos allow anyone to make quick repairs without getting frustrated or having to worry if you can complete the job. They are my Arouca for parts. When it comes to these shocks, the are of good quality and have held up.

1AAutoto made it SO EASY for me to understand what needed to be done - both the parts and installation procedure - to repair the liftgate on my Suburban. Granted that that repair is simple. But whats more important, from my other experiences with them, is that 1AAuto is one stop for parts and for very clear video on how to make the end-to-end repair.
All Good

When the original struts failed on my 2003 suburban, I was using my head (literally) and occasionally a broom handle to hold the door open. The new ones work great and were a snap to install. Thanks
1Auto for limiting the wear and tear on my bald head.
