Good morning everybody,
seems the winter is over, so I am doing some maintenance on our Explorers. Tailgate (not glass hatch) on '02 XLS didn't stay open anymore so I exchanged tailgate support (gas springs). But you won't believe, new gas springs don’t really help.
My first idea was I got some over aged spare parts. To rule this out I took the well working support springs of our ’07. Same result: Tailgate opens say ¾ of it’s way and then you need to push it open manually.
Like to hear your ideas. Thank you!
