Rear Window Gas Struts 100N For Kia Sorento JC 2002-2009
Rear window gas struts that lose internal pressure cause tailgates to droop unexpectedly or demand excessive force to lift. This precision-engineered replacement set restores smooth, reliable operation for the rear hatch of your Kia Sorento I JC produced between 2002 and 2009. Designed with a consistent 100N ejection force and measuring exactly 360mm from centre hole to centre hole, these cylinders bear full load weight while protecting original mounting brackets from stress failure. They serve as a direct physical swap for OE references 87170-3E000, 87170-3E010, 87180-3E000, and 87180-3E010, delivering immediate improvement to daily hatchback usability without requiring specialized tools.
Benefits & Maintenance Tips
Fresh rear lift supports eliminate the need to manually lower a heavy glass panel, keeping your cargo area accessible and hands-free. When replacing the units, always compress the piston fully and fasten the built-in locking clips before extracting the old struts; this prevents dangerous sudden extension during the swap. After fitting both left and right units, cycle the tailgate open and closed three times to equalise internal nitrogen flow. Avoid applying lubricants near the mounting eyelets, as grease can attract road grit and accelerate bearing wear.

Safety & Fitment Reminders
These units are brand-new aftermarket components manufactured to match original dimensional tolerances. Verify your current struts measure exactly 360mm before purchase, as prior non-factory upgrades occasionally alter the required length. Handle all gas cylinders upright and never expose them to open flames or sharp impacts, as the sealed nitrogen chamber requires standard mechanical care during storage and installation.
