Universal Gas Struts for Vehicle Access Panels

These two black gas struts each deliver 38Lb of force to hold open bonnets, hatches or compartments on RVs, cars, boats and buses. They extend to 15.7in and compress to 9.65in with a total length of 16in. Metal construction and a 10x6mm mounting hole suit medium to heavy lids.

Force and Stroke Limits Define Fitment

Each strut provides 169N of pressure across a 6.1in rod stroke inside an 18mm diameter housing with an 8mm rod. The fixed 38Lb rating means the strut cannot be adjusted for lighter or heavier panels. Mounting points must accept the 10x6mm hole pattern and tolerate the full extension force.

Verify Mounting Geometry Before Ordering

Measure the centre-to-centre distance between your existing brackets to confirm it matches the 15.7in extended and 9.65in compressed lengths. Ensure the mounting surface can accept a 10x6mm hole and that the 18mm body diameter clears surrounding trim. Allow up to 10mm variance from manual measurement.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16 inch or the 40 cm version?

They are the same strut — 16 inch is the imperial label for the 40 cm extended length.

What does the 38 lb rating actually lift on my hatch?

Each strut provides 38 lb or 169 N of force, so the pair shares the load of a medium to heavy cover or lid.

Will the 10 mm ball stud hole fit my existing brackets?

The mounting hole measures 10 by 6 mm, matching common 10 mm ball stud brackets used on RVs, cars and boats.
