BOXI Trunk Lift Supports for Mazda MX-5 Miata 2006–2015 Convertible (Qty 2) — 9.25"/6.75" Gas Struts, Direct-Fit

BOXI trunk lift supports are direct-fit gas struts designed to restore smooth, reliable opening and holding of the trunk on Mazda MX-5 Miata 2006–2015 convertibles without a retractable hardtop.

These replacement trunk shocks are engineered to match the original equipment dimensions and mounting style so you can quickly swap worn or weak supports and regain secure lift and hold for your convertible’s trunk lid. Each kit contains two gas struts with the exact extended and compressed lengths needed for compatible MX-5 Miata models, and the parts replace common OEM numbers for easy cross-referencing.

Will these BOXI struts fit my Mazda MX-5 Miata?

Yes, they’re made to fit 2006–2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata convertibles that do not have the retractable hardtop option. Before ordering, confirm compatibility using your vehicle year/make/model and the interchangeable part numbers listed.

• Fitment: Mazda MX-5 Miata 2006–2015, convertible without retractable hardtop
• Replaces OEM: 6735, NF7956930B, 96735, F96735
• Check: use drop-down or messaging to verify fit before purchase

How do the dimensions affect installation and performance?

The struts have a specified extended length of 9.25 inches and a compressed length of 6.75 inches, so they align with the original mounting geometry. Proper length ensures the trunk opens to the intended angle and the gas pressure holds the lid steady at rest, preventing unexpected closing.

• Extended length: 9.25 inches for correct open position
• Compressed length: 6.75 inches for accurate closed clearance
• Direct-fit dimensions reduce the need for adapter hardware

What should I expect during installation?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools: remove the old struts, line up the replacement ends with the ball studs, and snap into place. The kit is sold as two matched struts, so both sides will have equal lift force and synchronized motion after replacement.

• Tools: common sockets or wrench set may be required
• Process: remove clips or bolts, detach old struts, snap new ends onto studs
• Pro tip: support the trunk lid while swapping both struts for safety

How durable are these gas shocks and what maintenance is needed?

BOXI struts are manufactured as service replacements and designed for typical daily driving conditions; they restore original lift performance when age or wear has reduced the gas pressure in old units. No special maintenance is normally required, but periodic inspection of mounting points and seals helps ensure long service life.

• Construction: gas-filled for consistent lift and damped motion
• Care: inspect mounting hardware and seals for corrosion or wear
• Replacement: replace in pairs to maintain balanced operation

Who is this for: This BOXI dual-strut kit is intended for Mazda MX-5 Miata owners (2006–2015) who need a reliable, direct-replacement trunk lift solution—ideal for DIY mechanics, independent shops, or anyone wanting to replace tired or failing trunk supports without modifying the vehicle. Verify your vehicle configuration and OEM part numbers before purchase to ensure the correct fit.
