2x Tailgate Gas Lift Struts for Vauxhall Opel Astra H Hatch
The Vauxhall and Opel Astra H hatchback relies on intact rear suspension components for secure cargo handling. This replacement pair of tailgate gas lift struts restores factory-level resistance to a fading boot latch system, eliminating the common frustration of a drifting rear door that refuses stay open or slams down unexpectedly. Engineered with a 450 N ejection force and an extended length of 425 mm (±2 mm), these gas pressure springs deliver steady hydraulic damping across thousands of open cycles. The black corrosion-resistant coating safeguards the polished chamber against road salt, humidity, and UV exposure.
Benefits & Tips
- Swapping both strut units at the same time guarantees balanced lifting tension and prevents uneven stress on your new hardware.
- Wipe the exposed rod with a clean microfiber cloth before mounting to remove transit debris and preserve the primary shaft seal.
- Keep a jack stand prepared to temporarily hold the tailgate while disconnecting the lower ball joint, saving fingers and paintwork.

Warnings & Reminders

- Verify exact production trim and hatch styling prior to purchase to confirm straight bracket alignment.
