Vehicle Application and Placement

The strut is designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, with the possibility of use on both the left and right sides of the tailgate. This solution allows for even load distribution and stable operation of the entire trunk lifting mechanism.

Thanks to its dedicated placement in the rear body zone, the component works in conjunction with the tailgate hinges and lock, creating a cohesive system responsible for smooth opening and closing of the trunk without abrupt movements.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

The tailgate strut belongs to the group of components responsible for tailgate movement control and its stable holding in the open position. The appropriately selected operating characteristics of the gas spring reduce the stress on the hinges and lock, contributing to the longer lifespan of the entire system.

Key advantages of this solution include:

• precise tailgate guidance during opening and closing,
• reduced mechanical load on other mounting elements,
• increased convenience of trunk use in daily operation,
• maintenance of the original operating characteristics of the rear tailgate.

Its original origin from the Volkswagen brand promotes compatibility with factory mounting points and proper cooperation with other rear tailgate components.

Part Condition and Practical Application

The offered strut comes from the used parts segment, allowing for an economical replacement while maintaining original construction and fit. This solution is particularly beneficial for servicing vehicles used intensively, where both functionality and reasonable repair costs are important.

The part is suitable for:

• replacing worn tailgate gas springs,
• restoring proper operation of the rear tailgate opening mechanism,
• post-accident repairs in the rear body section,
• maintenance related to weakened tailgate support.

Integration with Other Body Elements

The strut works with hinges, the lock, and other components from the Gas Springs, Locks, Hinges and Other Parts group, forming a cohesive system responsible for rear tailgate operation. A correctly selected and installed part reduces the risk of the tailgate falling on its own and improves the ergonomics of trunk loading.
