Simple fix, easy install. Expect to replace these every so often, depending how often the lift gate is used. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits 2008 Prius - Way Easy ~10 minute install - Video included :) *by J***G on December 11, 2025* Fits 2008 Prius - Way Easy to install - You’ll need a Small, thin, Standard Screwdriver + Broom handle and a Pair of Sissers. ~ 10 minute install - including putting away your tools and washing up - Video included :) First compare these to your installed originals before you cut the plastic straps that release each os the pressurized pistons! For our 2008 Prius - they fairly closely matched the length and girth of the larger (lower) piston width and length - and the coupling mechanism on both ends was exactly the same - using a single bridge holding clip. So we ahead with the install. Even if your current pistons hod the door up fairly well - to do this work you will want to be sure to prop the hatch door open - with a broom handle or something that holds it up so the door doesn’t start to come down as you work - or remove one of the pistons. Without saying - it’s safest to remove and replace each side - one at a time - as the hatch door has a surprising amount of down leverage due to its weight and how far out it swings. The short video shows after installing the right new hatch lift piston - the basics of the easy removal and install. Sorry its a rough cut video - but you’ll probably will get the drift of it. These replacement lift struts make all the difference in the world. Will they last as long as the originals? Maybe - but at this price point a fix for less than a tank of gas - we’re all good here. ## Frequently Bought Together - Replacement for 2011-2014 Kia Sorento Liftgate Lift Support - OTUAYAUTO Rear Tailgate Strut - OEM# 81771-1u000 (Pack of 2) - A-Premium Cabin Air Filter with Activated Carbon Compatible with Hyundai Santa Fe 2009-2011 & Kia Sorento 2011-2015, Replace# 971331U000 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/236661887-replacement-for-2011-2014-kia-sorento-liftgate-lift-support-otuayauto](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/236661887-replacement-for-2011-2014-kia-sorento-liftgate-lift-support-otuayauto) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
