AiYiGu Rear Hatch Struts for Scion tC 2005-2010 — 4597 Replacement Pair, OEM Fit & Gas Lift

AiYiGu 4597 rear hatch struts are a direct-fit replacement pair designed to restore smooth, controlled opening and support for Scion tC hatchbacks from 2005 through 2010.

If the liftgate on your Scion tC feels heavy, drops unexpectedly, or no longer holds open, replacing the worn gas struts is the fastest way to bring back reliable operation. These AiYiGu shocks match the OEM fitment for the rear liftgate and come as a left/right pair so you can replace both sides at once for balanced performance.

Will these struts fit my Scion tC?

Yes — these struts are built to match the original specifications for Scion tC model years 2005 through 2010. They are supplied to replace OEM part numbers corresponding to liftgate support assemblies, ensuring compatibility without modification.

• Compatible models: Scion tC 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010
• Replaces OEM references such as 4597 and SG329031
• Sold as a matched pair (left and right)

What are the physical dimensions and performance details?

Each strut has a compact compressed length and a longer extended length that matches the original spec for correct geometry and lift. They provide the necessary gas pressure to support the hatch through its full travel while preventing sudden drops.

• Compressed length: 10.71 inches
• Extended length: 16.85 inches
• Engineered to supply balanced lift and controlled descent for the rear hatch

How difficult is installation — do I need special tools?

Installation is straightforward and does not require replacement screws or special fasteners; the struts use snap-on ball studs like the originals. You will only need a flathead screwdriver or a trim tool to pry off the old bracket and pop the new strut into place.

• No screws or extra hardware included or required
• Install safely: prop the hatch open with a rod or have a helper hold it
• Typical install time: 10–20 minutes for both sides

What warranty and support come with these AiYiGu shocks?

AiYiGu backs these hatch struts with a two-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If you encounter any issues or have installation questions, AiYiGu’s customer support is available to assist and provide replacement when covered by warranty.

• Two-year limited warranty from date of purchase
• Customer support for fitment and installation questions
• Sold as a pair — left and right included (mounting screws not included)

Who is this for: Drivers and DIY mechanics who own a Scion tC (2005–2010) and want an affordable, OEM-compatible replacement for sagging or failed hatch struts. These AiYiGu 4597 shocks are well suited for owners who prefer a straightforward snap-on installation and the reassurance of a two-year warranty, whether replacing both struts at once or renewing the lift support during other rear-end maintenance.
