Rear Decklid Strut Kits

  • Does the rear decklid on your Fiero fail to stay up?

  • Have you taken the springs out for an engine change?

  • Have you added a wing and the lid won't stay up?

  • Rear Decklid bolt on gas strut kits are easy to install! Your rear deck lid will stay up even on windy days! No more prop rods!


    Single Strut Kits:  Assists/replaces the stock springs.
    (Single Strut Kit will support the decklid WITH the torsion bars removed.)

    1986-1987 Fiero GT Singe Strut Kit

    All kits include all necessary bolts and brackets to install them. All bolts and washers are stainless steel. Brackets are painted black and are made of cold rolled steel. Detailed instructions included.

    Note: When ordering please include a brief description on why you need a lift kit. I use varying pressures depending on the application. Also remember to include the year and model!

    (Strut Kits also available for 308/328 rebodies, contact me for more info)

    1984-1987 Fiero Coupes: The model requires two holes to be drilled in the bracket that supports the driver's side louver. Bolts and washers are stainless steel.

    1986-1987 Fiero GT: This model is a direct bolt in and can be installed in about 10 minutes. No drilling necessary. Bolts and washers are also stainless steel. (1986 GT shown in picture)

    1988 Fiero Coupe, Formula and GT: This model is a direct bolt in and can be installed in about 10 minutes. No drilling necessary. Bolts and washers are stainless steel.

    308 kit, 328 kit, 87/88Mera: Easy to install in your 308 kit, 328 kit or 87/88 Mera. Removal of the original factory springs is required. This is available in a dual kit only. Includes strengthening bars from the shock tower to the hinges.


    Dual Strut Kits: For a Balanced Look

    These kits are the same as the above kits but two struts are required and are mounted one on each side. They also require the use of a much higher pressure strut because of the removal of the factory springs. On the 1984-1987 kits, an extra bolt needs to be added and an extra hole needs to be drilled and tapped into the shock tower under the louver bracket for added strength. (1988 GT shown below with Dual Struts)

    Replacement gas struts now available: Like any gas filled lift cylinder they do loose their pressure over time. I now offer replacement gas struts.
    These replacement gas struts include the lower plastic attaching piece and the upper stainless steel collar.
    You will reuse the original stainless steel bolt from your old Rodney Dickman strut along with the 2 washers and the inner spacer.
    These are a direct replacement for one of my old gas struts.


    Strut kits are machined and assembled when ordered, so please allow a few extra days for your order to ship

    Note: When ordering please include a brief description on why you need a lift kit. I use varying pressures depending on the application.
    Also remember to include the year and model!

    For those who have done an engine change - In most cases there is generally not enough room on the passenger side for a gas strut. Most non stock engines have something in the way. In those cases you will only be able to use a singe on the driver's side. A single gas strut works just fine even if you have removed both springs. For this type of application I use a high pressure strut. If you have any questions please contact me at rodney@rodneydickman.com
