A failing rear boot lid usually results in excessive weight when lifting, unexpected slamming, or an inability to stay elevated safely. These symptoms occur when original nitrogen pressure dissipates over time. This dual tailgate gas strut pair supplies a steady 430 N eject force, restoring balanced counterweight support for Mercedes-Benz A-Class W169 models manufactured from 2004 through 2012. Fabricated from hardened metal with an 8 mm thick piston shaft and a verified 203 mm stroke, these aftermarket replacements deliver consistent hinge assistance and eliminate the effort required to open or secure your cargo hatch.

Practical Benefits & Installation Guidance

  • Consistent Load Management: The measured 430 N thrust keeps the boot cover reliably propped open, making grocery runs and gear loading noticeably easier.
  • Direct Mounting Fit: Designed to align with factory bracket positions, allowing you to unbolt tired units and secure the new supports using standard hand tools.
  • Suspension Longevity: Properly tensioned struts reduce stress on the rear chassis lock pins and prevent gradual alignment shifts caused by uneven lid weight.

Confirm your vehicle’s model year and existing part numbering before checkout. These items function as direct aftermarket replacements rather than manufacturer-original units.
