Vepagoo Rear Hatch Struts for Subaru Impreza/XV Crosstrek 2012-2016 — Matched Left-Right Pair, OEM-Fit Carbon Steel

Vepagoo rear hatch struts replace worn lift supports to restore smooth, hands-free opening and secure holding of the Subaru Impreza/XV Crosstrek liftgate.

If your hatch no longer stays open or rises slowly, these Vepagoo lift supports are engineered to match OEM feel and fit for select Subaru models from 2012–2016 (and certain Crosstrek/Impreza variants through 2017). Made from carbon steel to OEM dimensions and supplied as a matched left-right pair, they’re intended as a direct replacement that’s simpler and less costly than a dealership repair.

Will these struts fit my Subaru Impreza or Crosstrek?

They’re designed to be compatible with many Impreza hatchback and Crosstrek liftgates for the model years listed. Confirm fit by checking your OEM part numbers — Vepagoo lists the equivalent numbers so you can choose the correct pair for your vehicle.

• Compatible models: Subaru Impreza 2012–2016 Hatchback 4-Door (various trims)

How hard is installation and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward and typically done in about five minutes using basic tools. The design uses the same mounting points as the originals, so you swap the old struts for the new ones without modifying the liftgate or brackets.

• Estimated time: ~5 minutes for both sides
• Tools: commonly just a screwdriver or small socket set
• No drilling or alterations required; direct-fit replacement

What quality and durability should I expect from Vepagoo struts?

These lift supports are manufactured to match OEM dimensions and use premium carbon steel for the cylinder and piston components. That construction delivers reliable pressure and resistance over many cycles, offering a cost-effective alternative to dealer parts.

• Material: carbon steel components to OEM specification
• Performance: smooth, controlled opening and secure hold-open
• Support: backed by a 12-month replacement service

Which benefits do these struts provide compared to worn originals?

New lift supports restore the liftgate’s balance so it opens easily and stays open without manual holding. That improves safety and everyday convenience when loading cargo or using the trunk for access.

• Restores hands-free operation and proper liftgate height
• Reduces strain on the latch and hinges by holding the hatch steady
• Cost-efficient alternative to dealership replacement

Who is this for: Drivers who own compatible Subaru Impreza or Crosstrek hatchbacks and want a quick, affordable restoration of their liftgate performance. It’s aimed at DIYers who prefer a fast, tool-light swap using parts made to fit OEM specifications, plus anyone seeking a value replacement with a 12-month backup.
