Review on ๐Ÿšช Highlander Liftgate Supports (Qty 2) for 2008-2013 Models with Power Gate Brackets | Part #398665 PM1136L-R SG229037 by Tyrell Rike

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The fit differs slightly from the original, but is manageable.

The item arrived on time. Just installed the shelves and they work great. If they fail within the next few months I will update the review. It took me about 20 minutes to install, loosen and tighten the bolts with a manual socket wrench. As another reviewer pointed out, these replacements are about 1/4 inch longer than the OEM. Which isn't a big deal, it just means you have to remove both old racks before installing them, not one at a time. To be safe, don't forget to put a ladder under the sunroof when removing the two old pillars, as the sunroof is very heavy and will fall if unsupported. It would also be helpful to ask a friend to raise the hatch door when installing new supports.

Pros
  • The extended length from center bracket to center bracket is 20.16 inches.
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
