The scion hatchback all of them are like this. It's dangerous 😳....it will always need replacing. I almost ended up in the hospital last year. Fell on my head. Hurt so much I cried on the spot.

Thanks for the video. That back piece that is broken is a free fix at any dealership. You probably know that by now, 2 years later.

[@krose2537]

Im not the original buyer but can i still go get it fixed at a dealership?

[@chimpchimperton]

@@krose2537 yes

[@AprilsVeryOwn25]

Thank you for this video, I ordered a set for $25 that are coming in today, and watching your video makes it seem much easier than I thought it would be!

[@AndreastheMartyr]

Can you send me the link for those?

[@AprilsVeryOwn25]

prowler x Sorry for the late reply, I got it from PartsGeek . com. The part number is 827-037

Just so you know, Toyota issued a recall for the rear lift gate handle. While I replaced mine before the recall, I used epoxy on the backside to reinforce the new lift gate handle and make it stronger. And thanks for the video! I'm going to order some new shocks and put them in.

[@MrFigure8island]

Raflikesmovies - thanks for the recall info; Toyota has yet to contact me about this issue...

[@k.a.kaufmann770]

Thanks, thought I would have to pay a fortune to have this fixed at the dealer. The hatch weighs a ton and it came down on a friend's head the first time. It really is a safety issue, they should issue a recall so nobody is seriously injured. I had my rear lift gate handle replaced by Toyota after it came totally off the car. You can get yours fixed and not have to pay! Thanks for making the video!!

[@MrFigure8island]

thank U SO much! i changed mine in about 10 mins w/ the help from your video! the auto body shop quoted the fee to be $300! i bought the replacements online from Wisconsin Auto Supply for about $25 - note: you may have to rotate the arms slightly in order to attach to the top I can now open the trunk w/ 1 hand! 🤗

[@thebluefrog951]

Great video. It took me about 10 mins to do the whole job.

[@repaired2106]

Cheers! Glad it helped

[@tonnieroxanne2201]

Thanks to this video my mom and I just put on my lift support and it only cost me $62.52.

[@MrFigure8island]

also, i love this guys accent - i could listen to him ALL day

[@Scionara_818]

Thank you for this video it helped a lot I just bought some for my tc Now I can do this on my own rather than pay someone 😀😀😀👍🏼👍🏼

[@t4medic]

Thanks for the vid man the struts were pretty expensive themselves, glad this is an easy DIY :)

[@AndreastheMartyr]

Thank you this really helped me out

[@jvcarter21]

Good looking out big dawg! Dealership was charging me 485 for both shocks haha.. i was like forget that .. ended up going to a local autozone store and got both shocks for 55 bucks. only tough part was finding something to hold my trunk open while i installed it!

[@thisismagacountry1318]

jvcarter21 Went to Rockauto.com and got top of the line struts, 2 for less than $15 on closeout for both.

[@RyanBarnes]

Thanks for making this video, showed me exactly what I needed to know.

[@Janae30xoxo]

Thank you

[@WillyMcCoy50]

Clean the area before installing new struts. Leaves and dirt hold a lot of moisture. Mix moisture with dirt and you have an abrasive. Also grease the knobs so struts have less resistance and longer life.

[@fischman26-China]

Good video. One thing you might need to do is take off the bolts holding the struts to the fame because aftermarket strut clips are difficult to remove with a flat head screwdriver.

[@AR-zq9hq]

If you got a little over $100 to spend they make metal hatch handles that don't break. That's a very common issue with tC1

[@3y3productions]

Thank you 👍

[@angeliramparedesmeneses5785]

Bro, i hace a scion tc too. And i need this pieces. Where do u buy this pieces ?

[@broccolihart1]

Anyone know if these shocks are adjustable pressure wise ?

[@AdamSmith-fe9jf]

Thanks for the video. Just curious, the clips you remove in the beginning steps with the screwdriver, do the new struts have them already installed or do you need to save the removed ones to put on the new? Also, noticed with new struts the hatch goes up fast and bounces instead of slowing down at the top. Any way to adjust that or is that just how the struts operate? You think different vendors’ struts will be any different or they all open like that? Thanks, man.

[@IAmShaniNicole]

Yes the new struts already have them installed all you have to do is snap them on

[@PonchMuniz]

Where did you get the shocks?

[@jangsta201]

clean those leaves out of there!

[@repaired2106]

Yes Mom

[@makeyourhappiness5652]

Tell me please From where you order them and how much?

[@makeyourhappiness5652]

[@Bearrden]

[@ricardobribiescas]

[@zach9886]

Ricardo Bribiescas leave the man alone and use Google dude, come on. Type in your make and model in a google, amazon, or even eBay. He can't do everything for you.
