I think i lost one of the struts in the rear liftgate. It looks like quite a job to get to. Anybody have any ideas on replacement or is this a dealer job? I can't see into the small hole so I have no idea how this is set up. All I know is suddenly the liftgate became heavier and would not stay up of its own. I believe just one side is shot but not sure which. Any ideas???

appears to be the most difficult part. Haven't had the need to do it myself yet. Instructions from WIS attached.

Thanks for the replys Franasia and Oh lord. This one had me wondering. Autohaus good for the cylinder and should both be replaced at the same time? Thanks again.
