Purpose and function of the gas strut

The presented gas strut operates in the rear part of the vehicle body, in the tailgate area, responsible for smooth opening and controlled closing. Thanks to properly selected operating parameters, this component stabilizes the movement of the tailgate, limits its sagging, and improves the ergonomics of using the cargo space, which is particularly important in intensively used commercial vehicles.

The strut is part of the Tailgate and rear parts group, so its proper operation directly affects the comfort of operating the rear zone of the vehicle, user safety, and protection of the trunk contents.

Construction and performance parameters

The gas strut mechanism has been designed for multiple work cycles in variable operating conditions. The properly selected lifting force characteristics allow for:

• stable holding of the tailgate in the open position,
• controlled movement during closing,
• reduced load on the hinges and tailgate mounts,
• more comfortable operation of the rear part of the body.

The placement in the rear zone of the vehicle allows for direct cooperation with the hinges and the tailgate lock, which translates into the consistency of the entire trunk opening system.

Condition, fitment, and installation

The item is offered in used condition, which allows for an economical replacement of a worn-out strut while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Thanks to its factory origin from the Volkswagen brand, proper fitment to the body and mounting points in the rear part of the vehicle is maintained.

The strut is designed for installation in the rear area, which facilitates service and shortens replacement time. In practice, this means the possibility of restoring the proper operation of the tailgate without the need to interfere with other vehicle systems.

Benefits of using an original gas strut

Using an original gas strut in a Volkswagen Caddy Maxi allows you to maintain the factory operating characteristics of the tailgate. Key advantages include:

• secure holding of the tailgate in the open position, which increases safety during loading and unloading,
• more predictable, repeatable tailgate movement throughout the entire opening range,
• reduced risk of the tailgate suddenly falling during intensive use,
• consistency with other elements of the Tailgate and rear parts group in a given model.
