Youxmoto Rear Window Glass Lift Supports for 2000–2006 Escalade Suburban Tahoe Yukon (Pair) — OE-fit, 18.06in

These Youxmoto Rear Window Glass Lift Supports (part 4185) are a direct-fit pair of gas struts that replace worn rear hatch/window shocks on 2000–2006 Cadillac and GMC SUVs to restore smooth, controlled opening and secure hold.

When the rear glass or hatch on older Escalade, Suburban, Tahoe or Yukon models starts to drop, creak, or won't stay open, the original lift supports have likely lost pressure. This set of two replacement struts (left and right) comes in the factory-equivalent lengths and mounting ends so you can swap them in minutes without special tools. Each strut is engineered to match the OEM reference numbers such as 4185, PM1099, and 15029087 for a reliable fit across listed model years.

Which vehicles and years do these lift supports fit?

How do I install these rear glass struts and how long will it take?

Installation is straightforward and designed for DIYers. No special tools are required; most installs take under 30 minutes for both sides.

• Prop the glass/hatch open and support it safely before removing old struts
• Release the retaining clips on quick-connect ball studs and slide the old strut off
• Align new strut onto the ball studs and snap the retaining clips into place
• Test the operation slowly to ensure secure mounting and smooth motion

What are the physical specifications and performance features?

These gas-filled supports are sized to the OE-equivalent extended and compressed lengths and designed to provide consistent lift force for the rear glass. They resist sagging and restore controlled opening.

• Extended length: 18.06 inches; compressed length: 11.31 inches
• Sold as a pair covering left and right rear glass window positions
• Durable gas spring construction for steady compression and extension
• Pre-matched mounting ends to replace OEM struts without adapters

Will these parts match OEM references and replace my old numbers?

Yes — they are manufactured to align with multiple OEM reference numbers used on GM SUVs so you can cross-check compatibility. Always verify by comparing the part length and mounting style to the original strut.

• Cross-references include 4185, PM1099, SG330025, 8196035 and 15029087/15029088
• Designed as direct-fit replacements for rear hatch or rear glass window applications
• Pair packaging ensures both sides of the rear window are restored simultaneously

Who is this for? If you own a 2000–2006 Cadillac Escalade (including ESV and EXT), Chevrolet Suburban or Tahoe from the same years, or a GMC Yukon/Yukon XL that no longer holds its rear glass open properly, this Youxmoto 4185 support pair is for you. It's aimed at vehicle owners, independent mechanics, and restoration projects seeking a reliable, OEM-style replacement that installs quickly without extra parts. These struts are ideal when you want to fix sagging or noisy rear glass operation and return the hatch to its original, controlled movement.
