Review on Pair of 22.64-Inch Rear Back Liftgate Tailgate Hatch Trunk Struts Lift Supports - Compatible with 2007-2013 MDX - Fits Power And Manual Liftgate - Shock Gas Spring Prop Rods by Patrick Reid

If your tailgate pillars are completely busted this would be a worthy replacement. My original tailgate pillars would not open all the way and I had to lift them by hand from start to finish. When I replaced them with these I had basically the same problem that they stopped opening halfway and I had to push them all the way. So I traded my original racks that worked 70% for a set or new racks that worked 70%. %. So again, if your spacers don't work at all, this would be a good replacement. If you're looking to replace dying shelves that are at least 70% open I would look for another replacement.
