Maxpow Hatch Lift Support Gas Strut Springs Rod - Compatible With Honda Odyssey 2005-2010 - Power Liftgate Cylinder Struts Shocks - Set of 2 (6238) Review

I ordered this to replace the strut mounts. I looked for the exact part number and it is listed as compatible in the product description. However, when I tried to install it, one of the heads was pointing the wrong way. Both are pointing forward when the top should be rotated 1/4 turn to the right. There is no way to turn your head.

Reported that the racks are bad. It worked. Like new. Installation took 5 minutes. The holes didn't line up perfectly with the handles on the van. (Stands were slightly twisted). All I had to do was attach the top brackets to the van, then insert a Phillips screwdriver into the bottom holes and give…

I'm a handy person and do a lot of work with cars, house projects, carpentry etc. I imagine the average handyman/person can struggle a little more than me with such things. Before I started I watched a few YouTube videos of this type of projects and will share my experiences. The only thing that matters in sellers is the instructions, which should be clear. is to mount the lower connection first (if the application is for a liftgate on the vehicle). I had no problem removing the old racks and…
