Product Details

This FCS lift support is specified for the rear trunk lid on the Volkswagen Pointer and uses the listed compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to match the lift support travel needed for proper hatch or lid movement. If you are replacing a worn rear support on a 2006-2009 Volkswagen Pointer, FCS 86498 provides the dimensional fit needed for direct service on the rear position. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Address

• Rear trunk lid that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent lift when opening the trunk lid
• Slow or uneven rear lid movement
• Support loss caused by age-related gas strut wear
• Difficulty holding the rear compartment lid in the open position

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear application and compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length before installation. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage, and confirm the support is oriented for the rear trunk lid on the Volkswagen Pointer. For best results, replace a worn support when the lid no longer opens or stays in position smoothly.
