Sounds like you need to get your Dodge dealer to solve it

 

I tried, they were no help, said new ones would be the same as what I got.

 

That is the same strut that is called for on my 16 scat, which has a spoiler although not the one you have.

 

Mine are weak. I just ordered the Amazon ones for with the spoiler but I have not installed them yet.

 

Winter time i have the same problem & yes it slammed on my head once wont hold unless i'm parked at a downward angle.

 

Those are the same as on my 2010 (with factory spoiler). Just replaced them last month. Pop the trunk, raise about 2" and they automatically open and stay there.

 

Yes, but if the trunk on a new car is not staying up, it’s something Dodge should fix. Even if the new struts are the same ones, maybe there is something wrong with the old ones? I think it would be worth replacing them to see if it works better?

 

I just put these on. They pop it open just a couple of inches when you unlock it and then lift it easily and holds it up solid. I have a factory Go Wing.

 

Where did you get those?

 

Amazon. $20

 

Not sure if your spoiler is heavier than mine,but maybe the struts are defective. I've got an 09' R/T and the struts are basically the same as yours ( Stabilus High Pressure) and have had no issues over 10 years. Did you raise this issue with the dealer ? Given that your car is a 19', I would.

 

Never replaced them on the R/T in almost 9 years. The originals are still on the Charger and it has the pedestal spoiler and is over 8 years old. I did replace the hood struts on the Charger a year or so ago with Sachs.

 

I have opened a case with FCA over this issue, just the other day I was taking a brand new car battery out of my trunk that I bought for my wife's car and as the trunk lid bumped my head I dropped the brand new battery on the pavement cracking!

 

ANYONE with the NEW STYLE Spoiler having this issue in Cold weather?

 

I have the same issue on my 2016 SRT, the struts won't hold the trunk up when it's cold outside. I figured they were just worn.

Hi Sky, glad to hear you were able to get a case opened on this! Should you have any trouble connecting with your case manager moving forward, please do not hesitate to send us a PM.

I ordered a replacement set of struts which has resolved the problem. You can re-imburse me $35.61 for parts $75 labor.

 

You probably need to be talking to your case manager? Good luck on getting reimbursed for labor. Do you think they owe you for a battery? @DodgeCares

 

Well I'm not gonna push it It was me the drop that so who's to say. I did call in and they had me email a copy of the receipt so not a big deal is only $35 for the shocks in case anybody is following this thread I got them on Amazon Strong arm 6657. The bottom knuckle rub slightly but I don't think it'll be a problem

 

When ordering replacement trunk lid struts, do you need to order a right and left one or can you order two of the same ?
Found an oem replacement on Rockauto but it makes no mention of right or left side.

 

These solved the problem on mine, the price is for a pair. Strong claims they are charged to a higher pressure. I believe it.

У меня точно такая же проблема. На морозе багажник не держит.

 

My '10 R/T was always whacking me on the head whenever it was under about 30 degrees. The colder it got, the worse the struts held up the trunk lid. A little ice, or under 20 degrees and it wouldn't stay up at all. On my present car, I replaced them after the originals on it were even worse, I'm guessing because of the bigger spoiler. The replacements, supposedly stronger then stock, were not much better, six months later, I'm waiting for these, which ARE stronger than the originals and they have a 5 year warranty, so I'm hoping to end my head trauma (The last time put a ding into my old bald head). It's one of my few complaints about my present car.

Video, not me of course:

 

I also have a 2010 R/T. Has anyone tried to use these for the hood? What's the part number for that? I'm still using a prop rod.

 

I


I'm not sure if the hood and trunk have different struts, but I added the MOPAR hood struts on my '10 RT

Part number MOPAR 82212094

 

Just ordered a pair of struts, from Lift Supports Depot.

 

Bought a pair from them early last year. So far, much stronger than the OEM struts. Just keep your face away when you open the trunk.

 

Watch out about gas struts that are too strong! I put a set of super struts on the Jeep Liberty we had a few years ago. It has a rear glass that pops open like a trunk lid and the lower 'tail gate' opens like a door. Well anyway, when you grab the handle to open the tailgate door, the glass automatically pops up out of the way. I forgot to tell Katrina I put the new struts on and the glass flew up so fast and hard that it smacked her in the face. She was all black & blue and it looked like someone hit her with a baseball bat.
You cannot believe the questions people asked about what happened.

Installed the trunk strut's today.

 

It was cold enough yesterday morning and the trunk lid had some snow on it, so with the old struts, I would have to stand there and hold up the lid until the struts "woke up" and held it up, at least 10 seconds. Under 20 degrees, they wouldn't hold it up at all. Now, it's like it should have always been, one finger under the lid and up it goes, and it stays up. Well worth the $40 bucks or so they cost, IMHO.
