Kia Sportage Glass Door Tailgate Gas Struts (Pair) — Nitro Struts

Restore proper rear glass / window hatch operation on your Kia Sportage with this pair of glass-door gas struts from Nitro Struts. These struts hold heavy glass — they work harder than standard tailgate struts and tend to fail first. Engineered in Australia to OEM specification.

Installation Notes

Rear glass / window struts hold the upper hatch glass independently of the main tailgate. Replacement is straightforward — usually 10–15 minutes with the glass propped open. These struts work harder than tailgate struts because they hold heavy glass, so signs of failure tend to appear earlier. Always replace both as a pair.

Signs You Need New Struts

• Glass hatch drops or doesn't stay open
• Slow, weak rise when you release the lock
• Worse in cold weather — gas pressure drops with temperature
• Visible oil residue or hissing from the strut shaft
