Application and Function
Use this gas spring when the rear hatch on a compatible Volkswagen Vanagon no longer opens or stays in position as expected. The 300 N force rating and OE-style dimensions help restore smooth hatch movement and consistent support on the right side.
- Weak or failing hatch support
- Hatch that drops too quickly
- Uneven opening effort on the right side
- Loss of controlled lift on the rear hatch
- Replacement for worn gas strut hardware on Vanagon hatch applications
Installation Notes
Verify the compressed length, extended length, and end fittings before installation. This Stabilus gas spring uses a metal blade rod connection and plastic socket tube connection, so the mounting points should match the original hatch hardware on the vehicle. Confirm right-side placement before ordering and compare the existing strut to part number 4E-291927.
