ARANA Rear Window Struts for Ford Escape 2008–2012 — 2-Pc Rear Hatch Kit, Heavy-Duty Chrome-Plated

These ARANA 6260 rear window struts are a direct-fit, heavy-duty replacement set designed to restore smooth, reliable lift support for Ford Escape models from 2008–2012 (and compatible Mercury Mariner years).

If the rear hatch on your Escape feels weak, drops unexpectedly, or no longer holds open, replacing the worn gas struts with a pair of ARANA 6260 units brings back secure, controlled operation. Built from high-carbon Grade 45 steel, finished with multi-layer chrome plating and filled with anti-wear hydraulic fluid, these struts are engineered for long service life across wide temperature ranges. They match common OEM reference numbers, fit the listed model years, and are sold as a two-piece kit so both sides move evenly once installed.

How will these struts improve my hatch operation?

Swapping worn struts for ARANA 6260 units restores steady opening, consistent hold, and safe closing behavior. The upgraded internals resist leakage and maintain pressure through thousands of cycles so the hatch won’t sag or slam shut.
