ARANA Rear Hatch Struts for Subaru Impreza XV Crosstrek 2012-2017 — OEM Fit, High-Carbon Steel

ARANA rear hatch struts are direct-fit gas lift replacements engineered to restore smooth, reliable tailgate opening and hold for 2012–2017 Subaru Impreza, WRX, XV and Crosstrek hatchbacks.

If your hatch feels heavy, drops unexpectedly, or the original struts leak, these ARANA units are built to the OEM fit and specified part numbers so you can replace both supports quickly and confidently. Constructed from high-carbon steel with multi-layer chrome plating and a wear-resistant hydraulic fluid, they’re designed to withstand seasonal extremes and offer long operational life without the premium dealer price.

Will these struts fit my Subaru model and year?

Yes—these ARANA struts are made to match the OEM dimensions and mounting style used on many Subaru hatchbacks and compact SUVs from 2012 through 2017. Confirm your original part number before ordering to ensure exact compatibility.

• Compatible models: Subaru Impreza (including WRX/WRX STI hatch variants), XV/Crosstrek (2012–2017).
• OEM numbers referenced: 63269FJ020, 63269FJ030, PM3820LR, PM3820L-R for verification.
• Fitment note: designed for hatchback 4-door and Crosstrek 4-door body styles.

How durable are these ARANA hatch lift supports under different conditions?

ARANA uses Grade 45 high-carbon steel, multi-layer chrome plating and premium hydraulic oil to resist corrosion and maintain pressure in extreme temperatures. The construction supports tens of thousands of cycles so the struts retain lifting force far longer than many economy replacements.

• Temperature range: engineered to function from −40°F to 110°F.
• Durability: rated for 50,000+ compression cycles without significant force loss.
• Protection: chrome plating and anti-wear fluid reduce rust and internal wear.

How hard is it to install these replacement struts?

Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools—no special skills or professional service are necessary. Quick-release ball sockets and OEM-style fittings let most users swap both struts in about five minutes, saving dealer labor costs.

• Tools needed: usually just a screwdriver or small pry tool to release clips.
• Time: typical install takes under 10 minutes for both struts.
• Instructions: check original fit and part number, then swap each strut one at a time for safety.

What warranty and post-purchase support does ARANA provide?

ARANA backs these hatch struts with a 365-day support window to help with fitment questions or early issues. The seller encourages customers to reach out if anything looks off after delivery so problems can be resolved without hassle.

• Support period: one year of customer assistance after purchase.
• Return/help: contact ARANA for fitment guidance or warranty service.
• Advice: verify OEM part numbers before ordering to avoid returns.

Who is this for: These ARANA rear hatch struts are ideal for Subaru owners who need a cost-effective OEM-style replacement for a sagging or leaking tailgate—DIYers who want a fast, tool-light swap and fleet owners seeking durable parts without dealer markups. If you own a 2012–2017 Impreza or XV/Crosstrek hatch and want reliable lift performance in hot summers and cold winters, these struts are built to get that lift back to factory feel and keep it there.
