Rear trunk gas shock

[Cruzr Joe]

Joe, while my spring add on works I think I want to go this route long term... Where did you buy this stuff from please?

Bob

Directly from BRP, if you have a good dealer he can order them for you and maybe save you a few dollars.

Got in the way of me ordering it. So, no refund required! Plus, Ann says she does not want a second strut. So, no worries! Joe

Joe, thank you, I couldn't ask for better information. I appreciate you willingness to help folks out, and your info is straight and to the point, and factual. I think I will just quit fooling around and ad a second gas shock, you parts list takes all of the guess work out of the job.

Not sure if this helps but does have a configurator

There was something I used in the past it clip on the strut and locked the strut in the up position and believe it was cheap fix at that time..
I used it on my truck cap back window..

Thank you for that, that is a place I didn't know about and will check it out. But like Finless said, everything about the CanAm gas shock seems to be custom made for that particular use, size, strength, even the end fittings. Appreciate your help.

Heres another option and really cheap fix

I used a search engine for gas struts..There are a lot of places out there and may take a bit or research to find what you need.

Problem with this idea is you cannot get at the shock without removing the backrest. It's buried in there.

As Joe said... A paint stick is the cheapest solution

Yes it stays up, i have a rack and a bag with momma's stuff in it and no problems at all

Stopped by my friendly neighborhood BRP dealer and ordered all the "proper" parts.
My daddy always told me, any job worth doing is worth doing right!

Thanks again Joe!

Yeppers, I'd have to agree with that.

To be honest I would pull the Gas Strut measure it and get something else probably cheaper with the same or close measurments.:thumbup:

My being MR Overkill on things I would use Two Gas struts if needed. One on each side of the trunk lid..JMO

I was just throwing out things found on the internet since there's always a solution out there- I didn't look at the strut until this weekend.
