Durable Rear Tailgate Struts for VW Golf MK4 Bora Passat Estate
Kick sagging rear boots back into position with this complete pair of replacement gas struts engineered specifically for Volkswagen models built between 1999 and 2006. When factory dampers leak pressure or lose tension, loading heavy groceries becomes a safety hazard and supporting a dropping tailgate turns routine errands into a physical workaround. These lifting supports deliver consistent hydraulic pressure to keep the hatch securely open during loading and prevent sudden drops that could injure passengers or damage interior trim.
Benefits & Tips
- Replace both units simultaneously to maintain balanced lift weight and prevent premature stress on the newly installed strut.
- Apply a thin coat of white lithium grease to the steel ball studs before clipping them into place to stop frame rattles over time.
- The unit should hold your boot firmly at full extension without manual pushing; slight give indicates correct force matching or minor settling.
