I have a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo, V6, with 110K miles and the rear window struts have lost their ability to keep the window up. I have ordered new struts. How does one change the rear window/tailgate struts?

First, support the window with something strong, it will hurt bad if it falls on your head. There are small curved retainers on the ends of the shocks, use a small screwdrivewr or pick to remove the retainers. New ones just click back on, no picking needed
