Scroll down to the Hatch Shock section.
We got the Stabilus brand which is an OEM supplier for $111 shipped.
They’re sold separately so make sure you change your Quantity to Two.
Part # 955-512-550-06-M24
I also explained in the video how the glass shocks also assist in opening the trunk. So if you scroll down one more section in the link above it also has the glass trunk shocks available. I wish we had new ones when we did this install and I recommend buying these as well and replacing all as a set of 4. I believe the reason people have issues with replacing the trunk shocks more frequently is due to the fact that the glass trunk shocks are neglected therefore causing more stress and faster wear on the normal trunk shocks. I hope this was helpful to anyone out there who owns a Porsche Cayenne. Thanks for watching and please Like and Subscribe.

Do the foam baffles need to be replaced when removed or can they be re used?
How much would you charge for this service
Mine needs it, I'm afraid I'll do more damage to the interior so I'll hire someone but thanks for to info vid
I just did this job yesterday 9-19-20, while everything he did and said is accurate I did modify one of the instructions. Regarding the spring clips on the gas springs. I found there is no need to pry them open. Just leave then in place and you’ll be able to get a pry bar behind the spring and just snap it on the ball socket. In other words you pry them off and on. One other note, regarding the heavier of the two gas springs, the ball sockets are 180 degrees apart from each other. I had to get a set of pliers and twist them into the correct orientation. Thanks for the video I would have messed up many things if you didn’t post this.
Kamal, I just did this and followed every step you showed with that first pair. I was able to do it without taking more headliner off. I put the trunk shock in the space, then put the window shock on the knobs, then affixed the trunk shock. Good video, I was expecting it to be a difficult job due to tight space, it did not disappoint. It is a challenge and you definitely need to have a little patience.
very good video thank you!!!
A big fuck u to Porsche, to make it so difficult to change
Can you not get away with just changing the one strut mount
Just one qestion !!!
Which brand of replacment shocks do you sugest ?
How did you get your back seats down.?
You need a safety rope in case the pole kicks out.
