Title
How to Replace the Rear Window Struts on a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban
Introduction
The struts that hold the rear window open will fail at some point. It’s important to replace failing struts because the window has the potential to dangerously drop on your head or shatter against any cargo sticking out. Fortunately, replacing these struts is one of the easiest (and quickest) repairs on a Suburban! All you need are new struts, a flathead screwdriver, something to hold the window open, and 15 minutes.
=== Special Requirements ===
You’ll want to consider the following:
* ''Having a partner is immensely helpful.'' While propping the window open with an object will work, having someone hold the window open is safer.
* ''Some users may need a step stool.'' Because the top joint of the strut is quite high, some users may find it more comfortable to stand on a step stool or step ladder.
=== Hazards ===
This isn’t a dangerous procedure, but be aware that
* ''The window could fall and hit your head or your hands.'' Be sure it’s secure.
* ''The tabs on the struts could be flung into your eyes.'' Keep your thumb on them while you pull them out.
* ''The grease on the strut joints is toxic.'' Wash your hands after you finish the replacement.
