The Left-Hand Liftgate Gas Strut 6006608-00-B is a premium replacement component engineered exclusively for Tesla Model S vehicles (2012-2021). Designed to support the rear liftgate, it delivers smooth, controlled movement—eliminating manual lifting effort while ensuring the liftgate stays securely open during cargo loading or unloading.
- Effortless Liftgate Control: Replaces worn struts to restore smooth, one-handed operation. The 720N force gently lifts the liftgate to its full open position (approximately 110°) and holds it firmly—no sagging, even when loading heavy items like luggage or groceries.
- All-Weather Reliability: Nitrogen gas charge maintains consistent pressure in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance in snow, rain, or intense sunlight. No more struggling with a liftgate that sticks in cold weather or slams shut in heat.
- Durable & Corrosion-Resistant: The stainless steel piston rod resists rust and pitting, while the aluminum cylinder and EPDM seals prevent gas leakage and wear. This ensures long-term durability, even with frequent use in coastal or salty environments.
- Safety & Convenience: Eliminates the risk of unexpected liftgate closure during loading. The strut’s robust design securely supports the liftgate, protecting hands and cargo from accidental pinching or damage.
- Tool-Free Swap: Designed for direct OEM replacement. Simply unclip the old strut from its ball joints (use a small pry tool if needed) and snap the new strut into place—no drilling or modifications required.
- Signs It’s Time to Replace: If the liftgate droops when open, requires extra force to lift, or makes a hissing sound (indicating gas leakage), replace the strut immediately.
- Pro Recommendation: For balanced performance, replace both left and right liftgate struts at the same time. Mismatched old and new struts can cause uneven wear or liftgate misalignment.
For Tesla Model S owners, 6006608-00-B ensures the rear liftgate operates with the same precision and ease as the day your vehicle was new. Its OEM-grade specifications and durable construction guarantee reliable performance, making every cargo run safer and more convenient.
