Purpose and function of the gas strut set

The tailgate gas strut set for the first-generation Volkswagen Touran has been designed to work with the factory hinges and the geometry of the tailgate. It is responsible for:

• controlled lifting of the tailgate to the programmed operating position,
• maintaining a stable open position without the need for manual support,
• damping the movement when closing, which reduces stress on the hinges and the tailgate sheet metal.

Thanks to this, trunk space operation remains convenient even with frequent opening and closing, and body components are less exposed to excessive mechanical loads.

Compatibility with the Touran 1T body

The gas struts are matched to the design of the rear part of the Touran 1T body, which allows for maintaining the correct opening angle and appropriate support force for the tailgate. The proper gas operating characteristics ensure that the tailgate:

• opens smoothly, without jerking,
• stops in the intended position,
• does not drop automatically under typical loads.

Such a fit is important both for ergonomics and for protecting the interior trim elements of the trunk and the electrical installation routed within the tailgate.

Performance and installation characteristics

The tailgate gas strut set for the Touran 1T is prepared for installation in place of the factory elements, using the stock mounting points. In practice, this means that the replacement can be carried out without interfering with the body structure, using standard workshop tools. Using a set with the correct operating characteristics allows you to:

• reduce the load on the hinges and tailgate mounts,
• limit wear on the lock and latching elements,
• maintain comfortable trunk operation in various operating conditions.

For the user, this means more predictable tailgate behavior and a lower risk of damage resulting from sudden dropping or improper closing.

Product condition and benefits of choosing Volkswagen OEM parts

The offered gas strut set comes from the Volkswagen parts group, which helps maintain the factory operating parameters of the tailgate. Choosing an element from the same production line as the original vehicle equipment helps avoid problems with mismatching lengths, support force, or mounting geometry. Consistency with factory solutions is particularly important for elements that affect the comfort of daily use, such as the tailgate.

Before installation, it is worth verifying the compatibility of the part with the specific vehicle equipment version to ensure proper cooperation with existing body and trim elements.
