Rear Tailgate Gas Struts For VW Passat B6 Estate Variant 3C5

Restore smooth, reliable access to your cargo area with this pair of replacement rear tailgate gas struts specifically engineered for the Volkswagen Passat B6 3C5 Estate (2005–2011). When original lifter springs lose pressure, the heavy boot flap becomes difficult to lift, slams shut unexpectedly, or places unnecessary stress on the rear latch mechanism. These upgraded metal supports deliver a consistent 550N eject force, keeping your tailgate securely positioned at any angle while making every trip into the trunk effortless.

Benefits & Practical Tips

• One-Handed Operation: The stabilized gas pressure eliminates the drooping effect, allowing you to open the boot easily even when carrying heavy loads.
• Protected Latch System: By bearing the full weight of the tailgate, these struts significantly reduce impact wear on your factory hinges and central locking pin.
• Pre-Installation Setup: Pull the piston rod to its maximum extension before installation to equalise internal nitrogen pressure for optimal performance.
