    Just wanted to say thank you. I replaced my rear lift things on my 18 year old suv and I am 65 yrs old. Luckily had a 2 x 4 handy. Thanks again

    64 year old woman here. Did this myself with these instructions. Definitely easy and the total cost for me was $30. 😊

    Thanks dude. I needed to see this. I’m always afraid I’m going to break stuff when doing repairs but watching your video gave me great insight.

    This and the hood struts were probably some of the earliest “repairs” I had to make. Super easy stuff…

    I was stumped trying to tug on the shock to break it loose. Thanks for the screwdriver trick. Worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you very much🎉. This is my first ever DIY with anything to do with on a car. Replaced my Q50 struts on the trunk by following your video.
    The dealer wanted $330+ labor and local Meineke a bit more for doing this work. For a first timer, I got them done under 30min. Go figure why hundreds on this stuff. 😂

    Thanks good instructions. I recommend putting something to support the weight of the tail gate for safety. 😊👍

    Very helpful…I used a thicker pvc pipe to hold up the trunk. If the new struts heads don’t line up, you have a with a strong grip twist then to align

    Hi, I own a 2021 Toyota Highlander base model without an electric tailgate. However, I’m wondering if you could create a video tutorial for installing an aftermarket electric tailgate on a 2021 Toyota Highlander. That would be incredibly helpful, considering there’s no video specifically for this model on youtube. If you do create such a tutorial, please tag me in the link.

    The skit at the end was worth it 🤣 do you ever do promotional work with other UA-camrs on your products? I am planning a rework of my content and would love to chat with you on a collaboration of sorts!

    you did not need to loosen clip on new struts. It will just fit in if you push
