Rear glass lift supports

marduk · 07-10-2008, 12:50 PM

I need to replace the weak lift supports on my Blazer, does anyone know a good brand to go with? Are there any that are strong enough to lift the glass on their own when I press the release button?

you could go with some electric acctuators and ditch the switch altogether

Nope. You'd have to rig up something with an acuator.

So having to open it an inch befoe it takes off and up is normal? If so, you just saved me a bunch of $$ as I was going to replace a set. (used Jimmy and I don't know any better)

They're not quite that bad yet, they just come down really slowly.

When someone else who's not familiar with my Blazer closes the back hatch they tend to slam it a lot harder that necessary, I'm afraid the glass is gonna crack or something.

I bought a set of Strongarm supports from Ebay because they were the only ones I could get shipped here. I'm very pleased with them. Even the packaging was quality.

id like some that would open my glass by itself. i had to lift mine up all the way myself and kinda hold my hand there for a sec to make sure it doesnt come down. it hit me in the head once.. thats all its gonna get me!
