Rear Tailgate Gas Struts for VW Touareg 7L SUV 2002-2010
Restore smooth, hands-free operation to your Volkswagen Touareg 7L rear hatch with this precise replacement pair of rear tailgate gas struts. Engineered specifically for SUV models produced between 2002 and 2010, these reinforced metal supports replace factory units that degrade over time, causing heavy lids to sag, stick, or drop unexpectedly. Directly matching OE reference numbers 7L6845587A, 7L6 845 587A, and 6181SJ, the 550 N eject force delivers consistent upward pressure while maintaining a controlled, safe descent. The straightforward bolt-on design aligns perfectly with existing mounting brackets, saving dealership labor costs while returning reliable cargo access to your daily driver.
Benefits & Tips
Measure your current struts from center hole to center hole before swapping, confirming they match the 315 mm ± 2 mm specification to avoid interference with tailgate seals.
Rinse the mounting sockets and ball joints with a light solvent wipe during installation to remove hardened grease and salt residue, ensuring a secure, vibration-free fit.
Manually compress each strut halfway before fully seating the retention clips to prevent spring-back injuries and guarantee proper chamber alignment.
