My tailgate (glass liftgate) arms are starting to wear out. Now that our nighttime lows are in the upper 30’s/lower 40’s, the arms won’t even lift the glass. Once the temperatures warm up into the 70’s, the arms will get the glass about ½-¾ of the way up. What replacement brands are you guys/girls using? |

I’ve heard that the StrongArm is one of the better brands; the only complaint is that they “pop-up” quickly when released and consequently harder to pull down. I have the StrongArm on my Jeep Cherokee and can vouch for their “strength”. I found the StrongArm for the Jeep KJ Liberty, part# 4365 on Amazon, but they are listed for 2002-2005 models. Are the 06 and 07 different? When I typed in my application (2007 KJ), the system said they would fit my application. I just want to make sure before I order. Here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/StrongArm-4365-Li ... automotive |

I bought strong arms for my hood and I have to grab the hood with both hands to close it. More than worth the $20 I think I spent on them. |
