Review on ๐Ÿ” Maxpow Rear Door Hatch Liftgate: High-Quality Struts for PT Cruiser 2001-2008 by Brian Hazzard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works great but one of the screws is broken

Installed on a 2005 PT Cruiser. The old one came off easily with a sprocket and a wrench. This new one had a screw that was difficult to loosen during installation (using the correct sprocket fit) and was quite difficult to fully seat. Hopefully it will last long enough that we never have to worry about removing it again. A few quick tips if you're having trouble with a screw that's stuck to you and can't be reached with pliers: You can stick a compressed bit into the rubber. Group that will help get a complete grip. Duct tape can also work. If the stripping is poor, you can either try driving the bit into the screw to improve the fit, or drill the screw slightly to give the bit a deeper seat (but not too far or the bit's strength will increase too strong). . simply tear off the head of the screw/bolt).

Pros
  • Probation for one year
Cons
  • Disappears
