Tesla Model 3 & Model Y Hood and Trunk Lift Support Struts
Replace a matching hood or trunk lift support on Tesla Model 3 or Model Y. Gas-support and electric liftgate actuator options are separate components; choose the model, location and supplier grade that matches the installed strut.
Gas support or electric actuator
The main photograph illustrates different lift-support designs. A gas support holds the panel while an electric version includes a motor and electrical connection. Each option supplies one strut, not the combined pair.
Model Y electric tailgate support
Select Model Y for the matching power-tailgate mechanism. Compare the connector, wire routing and end mounts; supplier-original and aftermarket options remain separate.
Compare the support ends
Match the original length, mounting sockets and panel position. The merchant confirms original and refreshed model coverage only where the selected strut matches the installed version.
Model 3 electric trunk support
The Model 3 electric option has its own housing and wiring. A replacement actuator does not convert a manually operated trunk into a powered system.
Fit and function check
Support the hood or tailgate before removing a strut. Follow the vehicle repair procedure, then verify clearance, operation and any required calibration.
