Slow or sagging rear hatch shocks

Honda Element Rear Hatch Shock Replacement


Does your rear hatch open too slow?

Do you hit your head on the rear hatch?

Its time to replace your rear hatch shocks. Easy, simple & rewarding…lets do this

By now your lift supports are likely slow and in need of replacement.

These will replace the Elements original rear hatch lift supports.

Both models will provide an additional 2-3" of lift on your rear hatch, no more smacking your head with those old warn out lift supports.

Please note these are not listed as a fit for the Honda Element (designed for an older VW Beetle).

We have purchased both models linked below for our 2006 EX-P & 2008 EX with Ecamper.
