Review: Excellent! - Plug & Play. Excellent fit. They work flawlessly: they have the necessary strength to lift the hatch door and hold it raised. They operate smoothly and without any banging
Review: Installed on 2013 Crosstrek GREAT BUY! Slightly more heavy duty, lift gate smoothly - I bought these for our 2013 Subaru Crosstrek as the OEM ones never last and I noticed these were starting to go when we purchased this used vehicle. From owning an Impreza I already knew how to replace these but I didn't want OEM as I went through 3 pair in the 10 years of having an Impreza. These claim to be better. On First notice they are slightly shorter than OEM when fully extended. The bracket/mount is thicker (more stable) than OEM and they have a nicer black finish. Installed one to compare. Instant notice in difference. Even compared to a brand new OEM one this hydraulic raises the hatch much quicker and with a smooth motion. It can ALMOST hold up the hatch with just one. VERY EASY TO INSTALL. You can do on your own, a second person to hold the hatch and move it as needed is better. These come with EVERYTHING YOU NEED for a perfect installation. I used ALL of the new hardware and it looks and works great. You will notice the different in the hydraulic length because the hatch goes up so quickly if you don't guide it at the end it will bounce a little. Worth the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this come with the pivot points that screw into the hatch?**
A: Yes it will come with 2pcs of the ball joint with screw.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, top notch product!
*by B***R on January 5, 2025*

Our 2015 Subaru Crosstrek XV started dropping the hatch on our heads this year and I wasn't looking forward to paying obscene amounts of money from the dealership only to have them fail again. Amazon and Rugged TUFF to the rescue though! These match the original OEM exactly for length and how they attach. Everything was included in the kit for replacing all the original hardware, including screws. Install was super easy, only took me about 20 minutes in the freezing cold and I'm not a car guy. I'm pretty sure the hatch works even better than when it rolled off the factory line. We are beyond pleased with the quality of the product, will be buying from this brand again in the future for other needs!
