Trunk Glass Window Strut / Piston things?

[TM21fourT3]

My strut piston thing that holds my trunk glass window up broke yesterday. there was fluid all down the back.

What is this exactly called and is there a part number i need? Mine's too faded to read it. Thanks.

Sach's Lift Support
Orielly's 304009 for about $23
Usually these come up if you search on 'strut'
These are usually replaced in pairs to prevent undo stress. At $23, I might just replace one and see where it goes.

Advance Auto parts and Auto Zone carry it also, usually on the shelf. Replace the pair of them. If one went, the other will go soon enough.

23 dollars seems like a steep price, i had to buy 2, i ordered them online for 12 bucks a piece if i recall. I'm sure if you do some internet shopping you'll find them at a much cheaper price like i did, I do not remember the site i got them from however.

You know who has cheap on-line prices on parts sometimes, don't laugh, amazon.com, especially with free shipping. Not for this part, unfortunately, but they had the best price on trunk struts for my Contour.
