Vepagoo 12.2" 40 lb Gas Struts for Weather Guard Tool Box — C16-11028, OEM Fit & Corrosion-Resistant

Vepagoo C16-11028 is a pair of 12.2-inch, 40 lb gas struts engineered to replace Weather Guard and compatible toolbox lids for effortless opening and reliable hold.

If your Weather Guard, Husky, ARE, Leer or Snugtop toolbox lid feels heavy, drops unexpectedly, or the original shocks have worn out, these Vepagoo gas struts restore smooth, safe operation. Designed to match OEM lengths and mounting points, the C16-11028 set installs quickly and works with standard 10mm ball studs so you can return to secure, controlled lifting without modifying your toolbox.
