Detailed Description

FCS 84329 is a rear hatch lift support for Volkswagen GTI, Jetta, Golf, and Passat models listed above. The measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are the key dimensions that determine hatch travel and support geometry, making this part number important when replacing a worn rear support on a Volkswagen hatch or trunk lid. If you are searching for a rear lift support for a 2006-2009 Volkswagen GTI, a 2002-2009 Volkswagen Jetta, or a 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, FCS 84329 is the catalog reference to verify against your vehicle.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and FCS 84329 should be matched to the rear position and the specific hatch opening configuration noted in fitment. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Rear hatch that will not stay open
• Weak or slow hatch lift action
• Hatch dropping unexpectedly
• Uneven or inconsistent rear support movement
• Difficulty opening or holding the hatch in place

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the rear position and compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original support before installation. Verify hatch opening configuration on Volkswagen GTI, Jetta, Golf, and Passat models, since some listed applications exclude reduced hatch opening versions. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage before replacing the support.

Quality Assurance

Use the part number, dimensions, and vehicle fitment together to confirm application accuracy before installation. FCS 84329 is cataloged for the listed Volkswagen rear hatch applications and should be selected only when the vehicle and hatch configuration match the fitment data provided.
