Automotive Lift Support Hatch

The FCS Struts 86189 is a transparent lift support hatch designed for automotive applications. It functions as a gas spring to assist with opening and holding hoods, trunks, or hatches in place. This new component suits vehicle owners replacing worn struts or builders completing custom fabrication projects.

Force and Mounting Constraints

The strut operates within a fixed force range determined by its internal gas charge, which cannot be adjusted after manufacture. Installation requires compatible mounting points with the correct ball stud or bracket geometry on both the body and the moving panel. Misalignment or excessive side loading will cause premature seal wear and pressure loss.

Replacement Capacity and Limits

As a direct replacement unit, it restores original lift assistance for the specific hatch weight it was engineered to support. It comfortably handles the designed panel mass through its full stroke length. The strut reaches its limit when the hatch weight exceeds the calibrated force, when mounting geometry changes, or when the seals degrade after extended service life.

Questions about this item

Which version of the FCS STRUTS 86189 Lift Support Hatch should I select?

The product is offered as a single model, 86189, in Transparent, so no capacity or version choice is required.

What does the transparent finish mean once the hatch is installed?

The transparent colour lets light pass through the hatch while the lift support holds it open, maintaining visibility in the compartment.

How does the automotive accessory mounting standard limit what this hatch can support?

As an automotive accessory it bolts to standard hatch points, and the 86189 strut rating caps the lift force at the level engineered for that mounting pattern.
