Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years. We're dedicated to delivering quality auto parts, expert customer service, fast and free shipping, all backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Visit us at 1AAuto.com, your trusted source for quality auto parts.
On each end there's a little clip. Use a small flat-blade screwdriver and pry the clip as you pull, and as you do this, you can't see it on camera, but I have somebody helping by holding the tailgate, and obviously if your tailgate's not staying up you'll have someone holding it. Pry out on the clip, if need be you can carefully just take the whole clip off, and it comes off. Then at the top there's the same thing, push your screwdriver in, pry out on the clip, and bring it off.
Here are the new support struts from 1A Auto, and here's your original ones. New ones are just like the original. You can see the original have an angled bottom, and the new ones from 1A Auto are exactly the same. They're going to go in, mount, and function, exactly the same.
For reinstallation, you'll need to lift up really hard on your tailgate, and again, it’s always good to have a person help you. They just clip on the top, I'm going to twist them, and just kind of let your tailgate down if you have to. Put it on the bottom, and do the same thing over here. Clip on the top, twist, and make sure that they're supporting.

1. Removing the Tailgate Glass Support Struts
Lift the glass

Press the strut onto the stud until it snaps

The rear glass struts aren't used that often, so sometimes they don't go back, or sometimes because they're never used and they go bad. Generally, you want somebody to hold up and small right-angle pick and work under the clip here. Usually it's best to just pull the clip right off, and the strut comes off, and then the same thing at the top. Pull on the strut while you remove the clip and it comes off.
Here are the original worn out ones from the vehicle and the new ones from 1A Auto. It's exactly the same, just no optional dirt, and they're going to go on to fit and function the same and this you can use for both. You never know which one's bad, so it's always a good idea just to replace these in pairs.
To reinstall, have someone help hold up, push on, and you may have to twist them. Do the same thing on the other side. Make sure it's on there tight. Lift up and down and lock the other one in place. Now, if your glass is sagging or not supported well, you fix the problem, and the glass you always want to put it down lightly and then just press firmly on that handle.

EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED
William
July 11, 2017
The lift-gate on our yukon xl was not opening as it should...we would have to hold it open, hurry and load items into yukon, & let the lift-gate down by hand or it would slam shut - potentially hurting someone if they weren't prepared. We got online and looked up potential solutions and the lift supports appeared to be the problem.
We've ordered from 1A Auto before so we looked up the part...1A Auto had an EXACT match, it was shipped to our door within 2-3 days, & the supports we purchased fixed the problem immediately.
1A Auto has helped us fix problems from time to time at a fraction of the cost as compared to going to the dealer. We trust 1A Auto & will purchase from them again in the future if necessary.
Buy with confidence...1A Auto will get you up and going again...and probably save you time & money.
Thanks

They arrived quickly and in good condition. A1 had a video for me to familiarize myself with replacing them, and they fit perfectly. Very happy :)
Received in a timely manner
Steve
October 1, 2018
The part is correct and I received them in a timely manner, however the arms are so tight that I have to assist the rear door down so that it will close otherwise it will just go back up. Also 1 of the arms has popped off twice so far and had to be put back on. It's at the point now that if it comes off again I don't think it will go back on and stay on but will see. Also hoping that the arms will loosen up a bit so that it will work properly without my having to help it close.
2013 Tahoe Lift Support Arms
Josue
October 1, 2018
I don't think, these support arms are universal. They fit my Tahoe but didn't fit well. I really had to force them on. I know I probably shouldn't have but I had already thrown away the bad ones so I mean it's on but closing the rear door is so hard.

Ruth
November 18, 2018
One of the two lift supports you sent me failed today, two (2) weeks after being installed. Very dissatisfied with the product. Lucky the failure occurred with the rear hatch in the closed position. Oil leaked all around the frame work. This email you sent came at the right time for me to inform you about my experience. I will be contacting you to either supply a replacement pair or refund my money. Trust you will do the right thing to correct this problem. Looking forward to your response

The tailgate on my GMC Yukon stopped working. It would go up sometimes halfway sometimes the whole way but then would immediately start closing. Google search came up with some potential solutions. One of them was a video on how to replace the lift supports from 1A Auto. Very simple to install! Great price! Free shipping! Arrived early! Thanks 1A Auto!!

I received the pair of rear lift supports for my Tahoe and when I took them out of the box and compared them to the ones already on the Tahoe they were a perfect match. They were very easy to install and fixed the problem of the rear hatch not opening all the way. I am very pleased with the quality of this product and they are still working perfectly.

Product arrived on date with free shipping. Nothing missing and sturdy packaging. Items went on with ease with no help, after reading tip instructions that were provided. My lift gate operates like new-very little effort to lift and the two hand requirement to overcome the sturdiness.
Worked for 1-year and then failed.

July 29, 2019
Ordering process and delivery time was great. Parts installed easily but, they only lasted about a week. Lift gate was used 5-6 times then one piston released all gas pressure and the lift gate fell on me. I will be asking 1A Auto to send me replacements. If not I will be ordering GM parts from another supplier.

Id recommend these shocks if your lift gate wont stay open on its own. Popped the old ones off and snapped the new ones in. Helps if you have someone to lift the gate a little bit while you snap these back onto the studs. Thanks 1A auto!
