Vepagoo 6019 Rear Hatch Liftgate Struts for 2010-2017 Equinox

In this review the Vepagoo 6019 rear hatch liftgate struts are judged as a practical, budget-friendly replacement for owners of the 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox with a non-powered liftgate. The bottom line: these gas shock supports deliver a close OEM match and straightforward installation, so DIYers who need a quick, correct-fitting fix will appreciate them. The review focuses on fit, ease of installation and everyday performance rather than advanced features.

Key Features

• Exact replacement compatibility: Interchange numbers provided ensure you can choose the correct lift support for a precise fit with 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox rear liftgates without power.
• OEM-style construction: Built from high-quality materials to match original factory specifications, which helps restore original operation and reliability.
• Easy installation: No special tools are required and most installations take under 10 minutes using just a screwdriver, making this an accessible DIY repair.
• All-weather testing: Each strut is individually tested for consistent performance across temperature and weather conditions, reducing the chance of early failure in ordinary climates.

Who It's For

This product suits owners of Chevrolet Equinox model years 2010 through 2017 who have a manual rear liftgate and need a direct-fit gas strut replacement that matches OEM numbers. It is aimed at people who prefer a simple DIY swap and want to restore smooth opening and secure holding of the hatch without paying dealer prices.

Less suitable are owners of Equinox vehicles with a power liftgate or buyers who need adjustable-dampening or specialty struts-those users should look for parts specified for powered systems or performance-tuned replacements.

Pros & Cons

Pros
