Match your lid struts to the equipment fitted above them
A lid needs the correct struts to open and hold as intended with its fitted equipment. ARB 176201 is the 500N strut upgrade kit for the prescribed SportLid installation, giving you the matched replacement or upgrade components for that arrangement.
SKU: 8TSLSP176201
Choose the specified strut kit
The 500N designation describes the strut force, not the weight the lid can carry. Choose the kit specified for the particular lid, vehicle and accessory arrangement rather than selecting a stronger strut simply because the number is larger.
Keep opening and carrying limits separate
A strut upgrade addresses opening and holding performance. The driving load limit still comes from the complete lid and rack system. Fit the prescribed struts, then check the opening movement, latch and clearances with the equipment actually fitted.

Frequently asked questions
Does 500N mean 500kg of carrying capacity?
It is a force designation for the strut, not a kilogram load rating. The lid carrying limit is specified separately.
Can I choose this instead of the 176202 kit?
Use the strut kit prescribed for the lid and accessory arrangement. The two part numbers have separate applications.
What needs checking after fitting?
Check the full opening movement, holding performance, latch operation and clearances with the fitted equipment.
