   My 2007 Pathfinder tailgate was becoming dangerous – wouldn’t stay fully open, always dropped down to head level especially in colder weather.

   Simple to install these new gas lifts: Prop the tailgate up in full open position (I used a step ladder and a cardboard box on top), use a small flathead screwdriver to pry back the locking clips on each end, remove old gas lift. Now install the new one in the reverse order – I found it easiest to attach the lift gate end first, then the vehicle side. Also noticed there was a little grease on each mounting nipple after removing the old lifts, so before installing the new ones I cleaned the old grease off and applied a dab of brake lube to each one – you could use use any silicone-based or synthetic non-petroleum lubricant for this purpose.

   About 15 minutes of my time and the tailgate lifts perfectly now. Cost less than half what my Nissan dealer wanted to charge just for the parts!

   Fits 2008 Pathfinder perfectly., October 6, 2014

   Fits the 08 Pathfinder perfectly. Installation is very easy and can be done alone although it would be easier with a helper to hold the hatch up. Once you put the 1st one, on holding the hatch is easier. Once installed, my hatch quickly pops open and holds strong. Not difficult to close either, an excellent balance of lift and ease of closing. The item did come packaged rather poorly, but the struts were undamaged and functioned perfectly. The only tool needed for the swap is a small flathead screwdriver. I would also suggest some grease for the pivot points where the struts are mounted. Since I had avoided using the hatch for a while due to having to hold it open, I found some corrosion on the ball/pivot point. A little grease and it was good to go. All that and it was a great deal too, don’t know why I waited as long as I did .

   No complaints here. Pop the old ones out and drop the new ones in. Works great. As a matter a fact, The vehicle is my wife. They work so great that my wife found it hard to pull down the hatch as compared to a previous hatch that was falling on top of her head.
