Restore smooth trunk operation on your 2005–2013 VW Golf Plus V with this precision‑engineered pair of rear boot gas struts, designed specifically to replace worn‑out springs without requiring professional tools.

Main Description

When tailgate supports lose pressure, lifting the hatch becomes a heavy strain and holding it open proves impossible. These replacement gas pressure springs deliver a consistent 475 N eject force, ensuring reliable lift and secure hold‑at‑open performance every time. Measuring exactly 521 mm ± 2 mm between centre holes, they match the exact dimensions required for the VW Golf Plus 5M1 hatchback chassis. The black‑coated steel cylinders resist road moisture and vibration, providing a direct drop‑in upgrade that restores factory‑level functionality while eliminating sagging doors and pinching hazards during cargo loading.

Benefits & Practical Tips

  • Store the new struts vertically in a room‑temperature environment for one hour before fitting; gas springs operate with optimal responsiveness once acclimated.
  • Compress the piston rod completely before snapping the ball joints into place to prevent accidental injury from sudden extension.
  • Wipe vehicle mounting brackets with a dry cloth prior to installation to ensure proper seating and extend joint bush life.
