Any recommendations? The tailgate of the Hiace is starting to get reluctant to stay up.

Open tailgate- all the way

With one hand, grasp the strut

Push it laterally jussstttt enough to bend it

Now it has a kink at the maximum extension so it will stay up. Last another 10yrs


Then, when it truly fails - eBay.

And buy a brush pole or mop stick
