Hold your rear hatch open and steady with the Tuff Support Hatch Lift Support 610009. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro and 1982-1992 Pontiac Firebird, taking over the job of raising the rear hatch and holding it up so it doesn't drift down while you load or unload.
A lift support is a gas-pressurized cylinder: as the hatch opens, the charged strut extends to lift and steady it in the open position. Over time the gas charge weakens and the support can no longer hold the hatch up.
- Function: Assists opening of the rear hatch and helps hold it in the raised position.
- Signs it may need replacing: the hatch drops on its own, feels heavy to raise, or won't stay up without being propped.
- Installation: mounts between the body and the rear hatch as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
- Pairing: many hatches use two supports; if yours does, replacing both together keeps lifting effort balanced.
Sold individually. Manufacturer part number 610009.
