Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RZF6XXHY5R8M4 The Hatch Struts are well known as failing in a couple years. They cost $300 per pair from the dealer. And I found this matched pair online and paid $82 out the door. ($66.00+1.99 shipping as of 1/2/2010) The way these struts designed are very difficult to remove. The two bolts at the bottom of the trunk shock are no problem. It's the ballstud-bolt at the top that takes work getting out. The screw is thread-locked in using locktite or some other screw adhesive. This means it is impossible to remove (you will strip the bolt trying so don't bother) unless you first apply some type of heat to the bolt. I read a tutorial and tried replacing it. I found out it isn't hard to do at all. I have very basic garage tools and a lighter. If I do it again (w/the easy way in video), I can probably get both sides done in 10-15 mins... of course with a friend holding the spoiler in case of falling. Anyway, it works and my wife is very happy with the result. Thanks everyone for providing different resources, it saved me lots of money.
dont buy OEM Toyota December 6, 2008

fantastic! I was quoted by Toyota for replacement and installation around $300.00 I paid about $95.00 which included S&H and got them in a week. What I can tell you is they took me ten minutes to install. You should have two people. My friend didn't show so I just cut a 2X4 and held it in place with duck tape. Make sure its secure and the hatch is held all the way up. You'll need 4 tools (2000-2005 Toy Celica)1- 10 mm ratchet with about a 3" extension. 2,3 and 4 - 10, 12 and 13mm open end wrenches. Take the bottom 2 screws off, unscrew the top. Replace top screw, remove pin, pop in top, replace pin, re-screw bottom....do other side. Your done. PS note of caution. These babies work great and now my hatch shoots up like a missile, so raise the hatch carefully and watch your chin.
Much Cheaper Than OEM December 11, 2008

The dealership was charging too much. So came onto Amazon and found it much cheaper. Installation is a breeze, just make sure you take off the metal ring before connecting the 2 peices together. The lift is pretty strong, I have to make sure it doesn't open to fast.
excellent replacement, fraction of the dealership price, watch your chins February 23, 2009

For the longest time I was making do with the fact that the supports in my 2001 Celica could no longer hold up the rear hatch. Countless times I've gotten my head bumped as the hatch has come crashing back down onto the back of my head. I balked at the idea of paying $300+ for the replacement parts at my local Toyota dealership, but at the same time wasn't sure that these would fit the bill. Fortunately, these gas charged supports work as advertised and at a fraction of the price I would've paid the parts department. As others have said they work VERY well at lifting the hatch so make sure you're clear otherwise instead of a bump on the back of your head you could end up with a split chin.
Finally! August 7, 2009

I've been wanting to get my lift supports replaced for a long time, but the dealer price was outrageous. I had a hard time finding replacements that I was confident would work, and then I saw these and decided to give them a try.
They are PERFECT. Installation took 10 minutes, 5 per side, and couldn't have been easier. It does help to have an extra pair of hands to left the tailgate as high as it will go when attaching the bottoms of the new supports though.
