Replacement RH61290001 Trunk Lid Lift Support Gas Strut

The Replacement RH61290001 is a trunk lid lift support gas strut designed to restore proper trunk lid operation. Lift supports are gas-charged struts that automatically raise the trunk lid when unlatched and hold it securely in the fully open position, keeping both hands free for loading and unloading.

Over time, the internal gas pressure in these struts diminishes, causing the trunk lid to feel heavy, fail to stay open on its own, or drop unexpectedly — a safety hazard that warrants prompt replacement. This aftermarket unit is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications and installs using the factory ball-stud mount points with no special tools required.

Key Features:

• Gas-charged cylinder construction for smooth, controlled trunk lid support
• Ball socket upper and lower mount style for direct OEM-style installation
• Extended length: 12.38 in. | Compressed length: 8.63 in. | Damper travel: 3.75 in.
• Sold individually — most applications require two (one per side); RH = LH (both sides use the same part)
• Direct replacement for a worn or failed trunk lid strut

OEM & Cross-Reference Part Numbers:

Installation is straightforward — the old support is removed by prying a small retaining clip from the ball stud, and the new unit snaps firmly into place. It is recommended to replace lift supports in pairs to ensure balanced, safe trunk lid support.
