Support your tailgate open or ask someone to hold it for you while you remove your OEM gas struts. Use a flat-bladed tool to remove the metal clips, then pull the strut ball sockets away from the car.
We recommend purchasing our strut tailgate clamp tool to assist with a safe installation, which can be found here
Remove any dirt or debris from your ball studs and apply lithium grease from our store. This will help ensure the smooth opening of the boot.
Remove the four metal securing pins from our Emerald Struts. Insert one ball socket onto your car's ball stud until you hear a click. Repeat this for all four struts, then reinsert the metal securing pins you removed earlier.
You can now close the tailgate. There will be added pressure, which is normal. Once closed, hold down or click the unlock button twice on your key fob, and the boot will open automatically.
Installation is straightforward and can be done with basic tools. Detailed instructions and all necessary hardware are included in the kit. You can also find installation videos on our website.
