autoexact Power Liftgate Struts for 2013-2018 Toyota RAV4 — Left & Right Pair, Hydraulic Dampening

Autoexact power liftgate struts replace both left and right factory electric supports on 2013–2018 Toyota RAV4 models with a power liftgate to restore smooth, quiet, and reliable tailgate operation.

If your RAV4's automatic tailgate has grown slow, jerky, or won't hold open like it used to, worn liftgate struts are often the culprit. These Autoexact replacements are built specifically for factory-equipped power liftgates on 2013–2018 Toyota RAV4s and come as a matched left-and-right pair to return balanced performance and dependable dampening over repeated cycles.

How do these struts bring my liftgate performance back to normal?

The Autoexact pair restores the force and damping that worn factory units lose over years of use, so the tailgate opens and closes at the intended speed and stays securely open. Each strut uses a sealed hydraulic/gas design and an electric actuator motor to manage motion consistently.

• Matched left and right replacements for balanced movement
• Hydraulic damping reduces jerking and prevents sudden drops
• Leakage-tested units for consistent pressure and longer life
• Waterproof and anti-fog protection for weather resistance

Will these fit my vehicle and replace the original parts?

These struts are engineered to fit only factory power liftgate configurations on 2013–2018 Toyota RAV4 models; they are not compatible with manual or modified tailgates. The listing replaces the OEM part numbers listed by Toyota so you can confirm fitment before purchasing.

• Direct fit for factory power liftgate RAV4 2013–2018
• Replaces specific OEM numbers for left and right sides
• Not suitable for non-powered or custom-modified liftgates
• Check your vehicle’s liftgate type before ordering

How easy is installation — can I do it myself?

The Autoexact design is plug-and-play and intended for owners with basic hand tools. Installation does not require cutting or modifying the tailgate wiring, but following the recommended steps—like reinstalling the interior trim panel before operation—is important to avoid restricting travel or damaging the struts.

• Includes two connectors for straightforward electrical hookup
• No major modifications or dealer programming required
• Typical DIY task for users comfortable with basic tools
• Follow instructions and reinstall interior panel before testing

What durability and noise performance can I expect?

Autoexact units combine corrosion-resistant steel and gas-spring damping with a high-torque, low-noise motor to minimize operational sounds while resisting harsh-weather effects. Noise is reduced to near-silent levels, and the assembly is tested for leaks to support reliable everyday use.

• High-torque, low-noise motor for quiet cycles (~45 dB at 30cm)
• Corrosion-resistant materials for extended service life
• Waterproofing and anti-fog treatment for wet climates
• Leakage-tested to help prevent sudden failure or drop

Who is this for: Drivers of 2013–2018 Toyota RAV4 vehicles equipped with the factory power liftgate who want a direct-fit, durable replacement for failing or tired liftgate struts. This pair is intended for owners who prefer a plug-and-play repair over dealership replacement, value quieter, secure tailgate motion, and need a weather-resistant, long-lasting solution. If your liftgate is manual or has been modified, these are not compatible — verify liftgate type before purchasing.
