Rear Hatch Support Rod: Essential Function and Maintenance

Why You Need This Part ?

This device is key for safely holding your rear hatch open. It uses internal gas pressure to support the back door, letting you load cargo easily and preventing the hatch from closing unexpectedly.

How It Works ⚙️

The support rod contains a compressed gas chamber. When you lift your vehicle’s rear hatch, the rod extends and holds the door in place. This ensures hands-free access and prevents strain on hinges or injuries from sudden closure.

Symptoms of Failure ?

• Hatch falls or will not stay open.
• Difficulty lifting the back door.
• No resistance or unstable support when opening.

If the support rod fails, the door may close unexpectedly, risking damage or injury. Timely replacement ensures continuous safety and ease of use.

Compatibility

• Murano
