In this video we'll be showing how to replace the rear hatch struts on this 2003 GMC Yukon. This is the same for any 2000 to 2006 Yukon Tahoe or Suburban Yukon XL.
The only tool you'll need is a small flat blade screwdriver.

If you have a droopy tailgate, you're probably no stranger to this: a broom holding up the tailgate. It's really easy to fix.

What you need is a small flat blade screwdriver and you'll work it into the clips by the rods. It's not a bad idea to have a helper holding up the tailgate. Pull these clips out a little bit and then pull the stabilizer off. Same thing for the bottom pull the clip off.

At 1A Auto we have the exact stabilizers that you need. They'll come with the clips in them. All you do is put them back on the clips. Make sure you have the cylinder side up and that it's on tight. On the bottom one, you'll want to lift up on your tailgate. After you do that the tailgate will stay up on its own.
