You see the little plugs on the rear glass where the "shocks" (I guess their called dampeners?) go to the glass?

On the car I am looking to buy there are no plugs and no "shocks". The holes are covered up with duct tape. Do I need those "shocks". I can always just get plugs for the holes, but what are those dampeners for and will it hurt if I don't have them?

 

yes you need those dampers so that your window hatch stays open when you open the trunk. you don't need them if you don't want them, but it'll be an inconvienence.

 

If you dont buy or use any dampeners i suggest you Get a Helmet

 

when i bought my hatch the shocks were blown and wouldnt keep the hatch up, i just went to the junk yard and found some right away. i suggest that

 

What? So when I lift the hatch open, it will just slam back down?

 

if u dont have the dampeners it will fall on you i suggest you get the them.discount auto has them and there cheap

 

Here's the car I am looking at:


I know, I know, crappy camera phone picture. But, It looks like the shock is there, just not on the glass.

 

it looks like the dampers are there...and yes your rear window will slam shut, it will not stay open if there are no dampers or they are blown.

 

Just get what your missing at the junkyard. It's not a necessity but you'll defintely want them after the first time you try and get sh*t out of the back of you car.

 

Those tend to strip out or wear out on a lot of 92-95 hatches. Just get the shocks for them, it's much more convenient, than having someone hold the glass up for you while you load/unload your crap.

 

any online sources? majestic honda was hella expensive...

 

You're worried about that ****, just buy the god damn thing, pfft looks fine to me for a 92-95 hatch...i mean really hot damn.

 

my was blown so i bought new ones ....yeah go get u some

 

haha, mine were out since i started school in aug and using my head to hold up the hatch while got my book bag and **** was ridiculousgot me new pieces that fit in the window since they stripped and fell out for xmas, no more head!

 

no offence but the answer is common since ****. Think really hard... hard.
