The procedure is to connect the defogger lower electrical connector to the strut, install the strut with the rod side down to the lower bracket, install the strut to the upper bracket, connect the defogger upper electrical connector, and remove the lift window panel support and close the lift window panel.

You need to open and support the rear lift window panel, disconnect the lower rear defogger electrical connector from the strut, reposition the retaining clip outward from the strut lower ball socket, pull the strut from the lower ball stud, reposition the retaining clip outward from the struts upper ball socket, disconnect the electrical connector from the upper end of the strut, and remove the strut from the upper ball stud.
