Rear Tailgate Gas Struts 490mm Extended for Kia Rio III Hatchback 2011-2017
Rear Tailgate Gas Struts for Kia Rio MKIII Hatchback
Restore effortless control to your vehicle's boot with this pair of rear tailgate gas struts, engineered specifically for the Kia Rio III Hatchback (2011-2017). Worn lift supports often result in a heavy, drooping trunk that requires excessive force to close. Upgrading to these 320N support struts eliminates that frustration, keeping the boot securely open for easy access while adding a reliable lifting sensation every time it operates.
Crafted as direct aftermarket replacements, these units replicate the exact geometry required for seamless installation. They feature a precise centre-to-centre extended length of 490 mm and a robust spring mechanism that compensates for fatigue over years of use. By ensuring consistent eject force, they protect your belongings from shifting impacts and keep your hands free when parking or loading items.
Benefits & Tips
- Safer Loading: Properly tensioned struts prevent the tailgate from dropping unexpectedly, significantly reducing the risk of pinched fingers or damaged cargo trays.
- Smooth Operation: Apply a light layer of silicone spray to the mounting ball joints after installation to maintain quiet, friction-free movement in varying temperatures.
