DIY rear door damper


If you bang your head on your rear door mean that you need to replace the damper soon. As the car age, this part will leak and will not support the weight of the door when open to the top.

You just need a flat head screw driver only and you can replace all of it. Just get someone to hold the door for your as safety.

By inserting the flat head screw driver at the angle as specify to remove the clip
The clip will come out and you can pull it out. No need to use hammer or anything hard to hit it. Else the door will misaligned.

Get a new set from online shop, I got mine from Lazada. It is not the original but seem like many ppl have purchase it and give it a 5 star. Have a try. It is not too expensive.

Weird that it have a date stamp on the damper as per photo above.

Overall, satisfy with the purchase and it does fit properly. I give it a 4 star.
