• Loss of gas pressure in the original support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support’s compressed and extended lengths, force rating, and socket style before installation. Confirm the mounting points on the Volkswagen Eos match the plastic socket connection design and inspect the hood brackets for wear or damage. Replace worn supports in pairs when the opposite side shows similar pressure loss, and support the hood securely before removing the old unit.
