Chevrolet Cobalt Trunk Lid Lift Support
The Chevrolet Cobalt Trunk Lid Lift Support allows the rear trunk lid to lift smoothly and remain raised. This provides drivers safe hands-free access to cargo. This Chevrolet part is a gas charged cylinder. The Trunk Lid Lift Support pushes against the bottom of the trunk once the latch is released, pushing the panel the rest of the way up and holding it firmly in place. Pressure inside the strut equals the weight of the lid, so movement is light and controlled. This prevents it from dropping suddenly while you are loading or unloading. Over the years, the design remained a sealed gas spring, also referred to as a shock or strut, which was a reliable and compact means of providing no mechanical or electric alternative on the Cobalt line. A healthy Trunk Lid Lift Support lifts the lid halfway by itself before taking over completely. However, failing units can be heavy to lift, drop downwards, or slam shut, especially when the weather is cold. Exposure to heat, cold, and everyday use eventually weakens the seal and lowers internal pressure. This means that every Trunk Lid Lift Support will eventually wear out and will need to be replaced in pairs when it can no longer hold the deck lid up. Regular checks of the Trunk Lid Lift Support are useful to ensure the Chevrolet keeps up to the convenient standard. Timely replacement is important to protect any person standing under the Cobalt trunk.
Each OEM Chevrolet Cobalt Trunk Lid Lift Support we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.

Chevrolet Cobalt Trunk Lid Lift Support Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What is the trunk lid or liftgate and Trunk Lid Lift Support removal and installation procedure on Chevrolet Cobalt?A:The Cobalt/G5 trunk lid or liftgate shows substantial weight which demands assistance from at least two people during its removal and subsequent installation process. An assistant should maintain the trunk position open while you mark the trunk hinge for alignment purposes. Dismantle the electrical components and cables together with ground wires as well as harness clips from the trunk lid assembly. You must disengage the trunk lid lift supports from the clip system on the trunk lid by using a screwdriver while you would need to remove the body end from the lift support if you are replacing it. Two people should assist each other when they remove the hinge-to-trunk lid nuts to lift off the trunk. The trunk lid lift supports receive proper reinstallation during the reverse procedure. Inspection of trunk hinges should happen by allowing the lid to fully open while lifting it unsupported; change the parts if they show 1/16-inch or more looseness through the opening. The trunk lid or liftgate alignment requires freeing hinge-to-body bolts to achieve perfect roof top parallelism with the top edge and side panel flushness to the rear quarter panels and bottom evenness with the lower door sill. Insufficient adjustments could require the use of body alignment shims. The straw needs marking around the striker plate followed by a check to verify the latch meets the center of the striker. Then adjust the striker position through appropriate trimming using a tool when needed.
