Hatch Struts | Powered | Liftgate Supports | Porsche Cayenne (2003 - 2010)

Here's how to replace the hatch struts on a Porsche Cayenne 955/957 (9PA) that has an automated / powered hatch. You can also use this guide for regular liftgate models - just use the same technique on the "powered" side on the left.
This does not include replacement of the hydraulic mechanism which operates the powered hatch - servicing the mechanism will be a separate video if it ever needs it.

Incredible help! Much appreciated!

[@Likeclubmusik]

what type and brand of sealer do you used?

[@RuslanVideoFilms]

Generic brand of butyl sealant tape. (In a good way) don’t need to get fancy with it. It’s linked in the description under the chapter 🫡
