Upper Rear Trunk Gas Struts For Skoda Fabia MK1 6Y 1999-2007
Restore smooth, effortless access to your boot with these upper rear trunk gas struts, precision-engineered for the Skoda Fabia MK1 6Y (1999–2007). When original lift supports lose internal nitrogen pressure, tailgates become excessively heavy and dangerous to secure. These replacements deliver a consistent 600N ejection force and an extended length of 445mm, returning your hatchback estate to its factory-correct lifting motion without requiring custom fabrication or welding.
Constructed from hardened carbon steel metal housings, the struts resist corrosion and maintain steady tension through seasonal temperature swings. Designed as direct aftermarket replacements for reference numbers 6Y0827550A and 6Y0827550C, they mount directly onto both the left and right attachment points of the rear flap. Simple removal of the factory retaining clips followed by straightforward ball stud insertion restores full functionality in under thirty minutes.
Benefits & Practical Tips
- Align the strut horizontally when fastening the top and bottom brackets; forcing them into angled positions damages the sealing rings and causes premature leakage.
- Leave the original plastic boot covers on the piston rods during installation to shield the chrome shafts from scrapes and track debris.
- Lower the tailgate gently once mounted to verify both struts share equal resistance before cycling the latch several times.

Installation Reminder: Confirm your existing unit measures exactly 445mm extended and matches the 600N force rating before ordering. Incorrect tension or length prevents proper tailgate seating and may void structural safety guarantees. Securely fasten all mounting hardware to the specified torque and inspect ball joints for wear before reassembly.
