Lift Support ZF Services North America Trunk Hatch SG229027 Painted

Description

Product Overview

The ZF Services North America Lift Support (model SG229027) is engineered to restore the original lifting performance of your vehicle’s trunk, hatch, or window glass. Constructed from high‑strength steel and finished with a durable painted coating, this component resists corrosion and wear while maintaining a sleek appearance that matches factory styling. Weighing just 1.1 pounds and measuring 31 x 2 x 1 inches, the support is compact yet robust enough to handle the dynamic loads of daily use. Each kit contains two vehicle‑specific supports, ensuring a balanced lift on both sides of the opening. The design incorporates precision‑molded mounting points that align perfectly with OEM brackets, eliminating the need for modifications or additional hardware. This exact replacement is validated against ZF’s rigorous quality standards, guaranteeing a fit‑and‑finish that mirrors the original equipment manufacturer’s specifications.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of passenger cars, trucks, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles, the lift support is installed in the trunk or hatch area where the original support has failed or weakened. The support works by counterbalancing the weight of the door, allowing it to open and close smoothly without excessive effort. Ideal for both new installations and retrofits, the part is suited for vehicles that experience frequent opening cycles, such as delivery vans, family SUVs, and sport‑utility trucks. Installation typically requires removal of the old support, alignment of the new support’s mounting tabs, and securing with the factory bolts. No drilling or custom fabrication is needed, making the process straightforward for professional technicians or experienced DIY enthusiasts. Once installed, the lift support reduces stress on hinges, prolongs the life of the door mechanism, and improves overall vehicle ergonomics.
