Rear Boot Tailgate Gas Struts for VW Touareg 2002-2010
Replace failing or leaking rear quarter-window supports on your Volkswagen Touareg with this matched pair of replacement gas struts. When original dampers lose internal pressure, the rear tailgate glass becomes difficult to lift or fails to stay open securely. These replacements restore rated extension force using a standardized 315mm stroke and 550N ejection rating, ensuring stable positioning and predictable closing speed for safe access to cargo areas.
Benefits & Usage Tips
- Mount both struts simultaneously to maintain even hinge tension and prevent latch misalignment.
- Clean mounting points of dirt and old grease before securing the ball studs to prevent premature seal wear.
- Store spare units in a cool, dry environment to preserve nitrogen charge integrity during long-term storage.

Installation Warnings
Verify measured rod length and mounting bracket angles match your existing hardware before ordering. Do not weld, drill, or modify the mounting pins, as this compromises structural integrity and voids coverage. Always compress the piston fully before attaching the ball sockets to avoid spring-back injuries.
