Vepagoo 12.05" 65 lb Gas Strut Pair for Weather Guard Tool Box — 10mm Ball Socket, Direct-Fit Replacement

Vepagoo C16-25563 is a pair of 12.05-inch gas struts, each rated 65 lb, designed to replace worn lift supports on Weather Guard tool boxes, camper shell windows, and similar truck-top applications.

These two replacement gas springs are engineered as direct-fit alternatives to common OEM part numbers (C1625563, C16-25563, C1612105, C16-12105, 7249-2pk). They combine a nylon 10mm ball-socket connector with a sealed piston to restore smooth, controlled opening and holding of lids and windows on truck accessories. Simple hand tools are all you need for installation, and Vepagoo backs the product with a 12-month replacement guarantee and online customer support.

Will these gas struts fit my Weather Guard tool box or camper shell window?

Compatibility depends on three measurable factors: the extended length, the ball-stud connector type, and the required lift force. The Vepagoo C16-25563 units measure 12.05 inches from ball center to ball center and use a 10mm nylon ball socket; they provide about 65 pounds of force per strut.

• Extended length: 12.05 inches (ball center to ball center)
• Connector: 10mm nylon ball socket
• Force: ~65 lb per strut
• Compare these measurements with your OEM part before ordering

How easy is it to install the Vepagoo C16-25563 gas springs?

Installation is quick and typically takes under five minutes per strut when replacing direct-fit units. You only need a screwdriver to remove the old clips or retainers and then press the new ball sockets onto the original ball studs. No special tools, cutting, or drilling are required if your mounting points match.

• Tool required: standard screwdriver
• Procedure: remove old hardware, push new socket onto ball stud
• Time: roughly 5 minutes per strut for direct replacements
• No modification needed when connectors and length match

What performance and durability can I expect from these replacement struts?

Designed for utility and weather-exposed truck applications, these sealed gas springs deliver steady lift and damped descent suitable for tool box lids, rear windows, and camper tops. The nylon sockets resist corrosion at the attachment points, while the cylinder is built to withstand repeated cycles typical of daily use.

• Sealed piston for consistent lift and controlled descent
• Nylon ball socket reduces rust and wear at the joint
• Rated 65 lb per strut for robust lift assistance
• Manufactured for automotive and outdoor accessory environments
