View Full Version : I can't get it up (the liftgate)

I put a couple new struts on the liftgate but it still needs help going up. Is that the way its supposed to be? The struts will hold it in the up position, but I need to pull it all the way up. Should I lubricate the ball-joint connections more? Are there different strength struts, ones that have a bigger charge?

Have you added any weight to the liftgate?

DOH!
I had the thing repainted recently so that's probably the issue.
Thanks

I'm such a dumbhead!
