Please note - Our struts are gas loaded which is what gives the boot the ability to pop open on its own. This will cause increased stiffness upon closing the boot. This is natural and will ease off over time.

During colder weather, the gas within the strut chamber may lose pressure causing the product to not perform to full operation.

How To Install Our Automatic Boot Struts

Remove OEM Tailgate Struts

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.

Clean & Grease Ball Studs

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.

Installation Of Emerald Struts

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.

Close Boot & Open

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.
