Rear Tailgate Gas Spring Struts for Volkswagen Polo 9N 2001-2009
Kick out the effort of pushing and catching a heavy hatchback with these aftermarket rear tailgate gas struts designed specifically for the VW Polo 9N Hatchback (2001–2009). When factory lift supports lose pressure, boot lids swing dangerously low or refuse to stay up. Replaced with OE cross-reference 6Q6827550C units, these struts deliver a steady 380N eject force that lifts smoothly every time. Built from robust carbon steel and finished in black to resist road grime, they restore secure cargo access and protect your tailgate mechanism from strain.
Benefits & Tips
- A matched left and right pair keeps weight evenly distributed, making grocery runs and fuel station visits completely hands-free.
- Always measure the old strut centre-to-centre before swapping; the target extended length is 500mm ± 2mm for perfect clearance.
- Gently tap the clevis pins onto the mounting bosses with a rubber mallet to avoid bending the bracket arms during installation.
