Fitment Notes

  • Always match OEM reference number(s) and vehicle details before ordering. Confirm exact fitment using VIN, engine code, or chassis number if multiple variants exist.
  • Also fits the South African-built VW Citi Golf (Mk1-based) where the same hatch geometry applies.

Installation / Use / Maintenance Tips

  • Support the boot lid, bonnet, or tailgate safely before removing the old gas strut.
  • Compare the new strut's length, force rating, and mounting style to the original before fitting.
  • Replace gas struts in pairs where applicable to ensure even support and balanced operation.
  • Ensure mounting ball studs, clips, or brackets are clean and undamaged before attaching the new strut.
  • After fitting, test the opening and closing action several times to confirm smooth, controlled movement.
