Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented gas strut operates in the rear part of the body, supporting the tailgate on either the left or right side. As a result, it can be used both as a single replacement for a damaged part or in a pair when it is necessary to replace both supports. The design is matched to the geometry of the hinges and the weight of the tailgate in the Golf R MK7, which translates into predictable, repeatable opening and closing of the lid.

Technical and functional characteristics

The gas strut is responsible for the controlled lifting and supporting of the tailgate, minimizing the load on the hinges and relieving the user when opening. Properly selected gas pressure and working stroke guarantee smooth movement, without jerking or unwanted play. The element is prepared for installation in factory mounting points, which facilitates service and shortens replacement time.

As a part from the group of original Volkswagen components, the strut maintains the correct operating parameters for this body model, which is particularly important in cars with a dynamic character, such as the Golf R MK7. Maintaining the correct support force for the tailgate also affects the comfort of daily operation – the tailgate does not fall automatically and does not require excessive force to open.

Product condition and benefits of use

The offered gas strut comes from the used parts segment, which allows for reducing repair costs while maintaining the original design and fitment. For many users, this is a reasonable compromise between price and functionality, especially when they want to maintain the factory operating characteristics of the tailgate. Using an element from the same design group as the one factory-installed promotes trouble-free assembly and correct cooperation with the hinges and the tailgate lock.

Replacing a worn gas strut restores proper lifting and holding of the tailgate, which improves loading ergonomics and user safety – it reduces the risk of the lid falling unexpectedly while using the trunk.
