Fixing a sagging tailgate!
What happens here
As an optional but recommended step, apply a small amount of penetrating lithium grease to the main hinges of the hatchback. This will ensure smooth movement and prevent any squeaking or stiffness. Gently open and close the hatchback several times to distribute the lubricant and confirm that the new lift supports are functioning correctly, holding the hatch open without any assistance. Wipe off any excess lubricant. The presenter demonstrates the fully functional hatchback, now staying open on its own.
Goal: After installing the new lift supports, lubricate the main hinges of the hatchback and test the functionality to ensure smooth and proper operation.
