Made to Last This gas strut is engineered to handle the demanding environment inside working tractor cabs . Quality gas struts like these maintain consistent force through their entire range and don't get stiff in cold weather like cheap ones do . The sealed design keeps moisture out of the cylinder, preventing the corrosion that kills most struts . Installation Notes Replacing window struts is one of the easiest fixes you'll do - usually just pop off the old ones and snap on the new ones . Always support the window before removing the old strut - they're heavier than you think and can slam shut unexpectedly . Check the Newton rating of your existing gas strut before ordering a replacement , as using the wrong rating can result in damage or glass breakage .
