Rear Glass Struts
#3
You could replace just the left side with one from Autozone. Just one is more than strong enough to lift the glass. A little too strong in fact, I've broken the diecast window mount buttons at least three times in the last two years.

You might check you local parts store for a brace that clamps onto the strut. It is spring loaded and made of plastic and costs about $5. It is usually in the area of the struts. I've had one for about 4 years now with no problems.

Victoria British wants something like $40 per strut, or maybe I'm thinking of Mazdatrix...
In any case, I got two struts what work just fine from CarQuest for $19.99 a piece, not OEM though... maybe thats why the other places want so much.

Anytime baby!
STRONG ARM all the way.
accomidates wiper too
strong as hell.
fit pefect.
also, replacing one is not a good idea IMO. it can cause racking, and though the glass won't break, you will stress your hinges. i had one explode once.
right on.

I went to Kragen and tried to get some replacements for mine.. In the 6 yrs I have owned my car, they never worked, so I said WHY NOT GET THEM TONITE!.. got there but they only had one! grabbed it anyways at $27 buckaroos... got home ... tried to caveman the ball joint out of the old one UNTIL I realized it wasn't coming off till I get that C ring out.. haha got it out and install was 5 more mins..
