Q: How to replace the Tailgate Lift Support on Buick Rendezvous?
A: The replacement of a tailgate shock/support starts by opening the endgate while using alternative supports to prevent injuries or damage to occur. Please use a small flat-bladed tool to remove the retainer clips on the endgate assist rods before taking out the upper end of the assist rods from the Ball Joint and the lower end of the rods from the endgate. To install the shock/support begin by positioning the assist rods to the endgate and pressing each end into the Ball Joint until both are fully seated before closing the endgate.
