Detailed Description

This hood lift support is engineered around the specified dimensions to help maintain the hood in the open position and provide controlled movement during service. For buyers searching for a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg hood lift support, a 2007 Volkswagen Touareg hood strut replacement, or an FCS 86629 hood support for 2010 Volkswagen Touareg, this part matches the listed fitment and size data for the application.

For best results, inspect the hood mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage before installing the new support.
