Review on Lift Supports, ECCPP Rear Liftgate Lift Support Struts Gas Shocks for Ford Escape (2001-2012) and Mercury Mariner (2005-2012) - Compatible with 4370 Strut Set of 2 by Carl Durant

After installing shock absorbers on my Mariner head gate I opened the gate for the third time as usual. The gate was fully open and both lower ball attachment points allowed the dampers to disengage. As a result, a very heavy gate fell down and hit me in the head. Oh. Now when I open it, I hold the tailgate until it's fully raised. If a child were to open these, it would certainly result in serious injury or death.
