Review on 🚘 Hatch Lift Supports for 2000-2006 Celica with OEM Spoiler or Wiper – Struts & Shocks Buyer's Guide by Guled Probz

The old ones didn't have a lift so they're great. Here are a few things I learned during the installation: The body bolts for the mounting brackets are 10mm and the dome bolts for the sunroof bolts are 12mm. I used a snow shovel to prop them up when replacing them and they fit perfectly. The 12mm bolts wear and begin to round. I ended up using my grinder to cut the pear part (it's inserted into the old shock end) off the stud part. To remove them I had to use a 12mm socket and a percussion gun. It was a lot more complicated setup than expected, but installing them on the wrong side the first time (learned they are side specific and labeled L and R) didn't help. Here's my 2 cents, take it or leave it.
