Rear Gas Struts for VW Golf MK6 Tailgate Lift Support
Restore smooth, reliable tailgate operation on your VW Golf MK6 hatchback with this precisely engineered pair of rear gas pressure springs. Designed exclusively for models built between 2008 and 2013, these lift supports replace fatigued OEM struts that no longer hold the boot securely open. Delivering a steady 550N eject force and mounted within a corrosion-resistant carbon steel casing, they eliminate the frustration of sagging tailgates and provide consistent lifting pressure day after day. This direct-fit aftermarket set matches original mounting geometry for a seamless drop-in upgrade.
Benefits & Tips
- Perform an easy bolt-on replacement using standard automotive tools; alignment follows the factory hinge pattern exactly.
- Lubricate the spherical ball joints with a high-temperature silicone spray before final tightening to prevent squeaking and ensure full range of motion.
