BOXI Rear Center Trunk Gas Shock for Can-Am Spyder RT/RT-S 2010–2018 — Direct-Fit Replacement, 3-Year Warranty

BOXI rear center luggage lid gas shock is a direct-fit replacement strut that lifts and holds the rear center trunk lid on Can‑Am Spyder RT/RT‑S/RT‑S Roadster models from 2010 through 2018.

If your Spyder’s rear center luggage lid no longer stays open, feels weak, or drops unexpectedly, this BOXI gas spring restores safe, controlled opening and reliable holding power. Designed to match the original fit and function for model years 2010–2018, the replacement strut provides the same extended and compressed lengths as factory parts and swaps in using the existing ball-stud mounting points.

Will this fit my Can‑Am Spyder RT, RT‑S, or RT‑S Roadster?

BOXI engineered this lift support specifically for Can‑Am Spyder RT family models produced between 2010 and 2018. It replaces the OEM references listed and uses the same attachment style so installation is straightforward for compatible bikes.

• Compatible models: Can‑Am Spyder RT, RT‑S, RT‑S Roadster (2010–2018)
• Replaces OEM part numbers: 708300383
• Mounting: ball-stud style ends match factory mounting locations
• Important: verify year/model and OEM part number before ordering

How does this gas shock improve trunk lid operation?

Unlike worn factory struts that sag or fail to support the lid, this replacement provides consistent gas pressure for smooth, controlled lifting and steady holding. That reduces the risk of the lid closing unexpectedly and makes loading and unloading easier.

• Smooth extension and compression for safer lid movement
• Holds the trunk lid open securely for hands-free access
• Prevents sudden drops that can damage cargo or cause injury
• Corrosion-resistant finish extends service life

What are the key specifications and warranty details?

The strut’s dimensions are provided so you can confirm fit: extended length 7.87 inches and compressed length 5.12 inches. BOXI backs this part with a limited three-year warranty for manufacturing defects, giving added confidence after installation.

• Extended length: 7.87 in (200 mm)
• Compressed length: 5.12 in (130 mm)
• Warranty: 3 years limited against defects
• Replace OEM: 708300383 for correct application

How do I install the replacement strut and check fitment?

Installation is typically a simple swap using the existing ball-stud mounts—no special tools are usually required. Before purchasing, confirm the original part number on your vehicle and measure the strut lengths to ensure proper fit and clearance during operation.

• Verify OEM part number (708300383) on your vehicle
• Measure mounting point spacing and compare to listed lengths
• Use gentle prying to remove end clips if present; install by snapping onto ball studs
• Test lid travel slowly to confirm smooth operation and clearance
