Review: Fits 2008 Prius - Way Easy ~10 minute install - Video included :) - Fits 2008 Prius - Way Easy to install - You’ll need a Small, thin, Standard Screwdriver + Broom handle and a Pair of Sissers. ~ 10 minute install - including putting away your tools and washing up - Video included :) First compare these to your installed originals before you cut the plastic straps that release each os the pressurized pistons! For our 2008 Prius - they fairly closely matched the length and girth of the larger (lower) piston width and length - and the coupling mechanism on both ends was exactly the same - using a single bridge holding clip. So we ahead with the install. Even if your current pistons hod the door up fairly well - to do this work you will want to be sure to prop the hatch door open - with a broom handle or something that holds it up so the door doesn’t start to come down as you work - or remove one of the pistons. Without saying - it’s safest to remove and replace each side - one at a time - as the hatch door has a surprising amount of down leverage due to its weight and how far out it swings. The short video shows after installing the right new hatch lift piston - the basics of the easy removal and install. Sorry its a rough cut video - but you’ll probably will get the drift of it. These replacement lift struts make all the difference in the world. Will they last as long as the originals? Maybe - but at this price point a fix for less than a tank of gas - we’re all good here.
