Whitecap Stainless Steel Gas Spring | 5.5"-7.5", 20 lb Force

Struts that hold baggage doors and hatches open are one of those parts nobody thinks about until one gives out and a lid comes down on your hand. This Whitecap gas spring is built in stainless steel rather than painted or plated steel, so it holds up to weather and road spray without rusting from the inside out.

It compresses to 5.5 inches and extends to 7.5, with a 6mm rod and 15mm tube, delivering 20 lbs of push force — enough to hold a compartment door or lid open on its own without a prop stick.

• Full stainless steel construction resists corrosion
• 5.5" compressed to 7.5" extended length
• 20 lb P1 force holds lids and doors open
• 6mm rod diameter, 15mm tube diameter

A straightforward replacement for a tired or rusted-out strut on a baggage door, storage hatch, or similar lift-up panel.
