StrongArm 4035 Hatch Lift Support

StrongArm 4035 Lift Support for Volkswagen Jetta

StrongArm 4035 is a specific-fit lift support for the hood, hatch, or rear glass application listed for 1993-1999 Volkswagen Jetta models. It uses a pressurized cylinder design to provide smooth opening and steady hold performance for everyday service.

Key Features

• Specific-fit lift support for 1993-1999 Volkswagen Jetta
• Extended length: 10.19 in.; compressed length: 7.19 in.
• Stroke length: 3.0 in. with 145 lb maximum force
• Black steel outer cylinder for durable construction
• 10 mm ball socket ends: nylon on one end, steel on the other
• Rubber and Teflon materials used in the support assembly

Detailed Description

Built for the Volkswagen Jetta platform, StrongArm 4035 is engineered as a direct replacement lift support with the correct length, stroke, and end fittings for the listed application. The pressurized cylinder helps maintain controlled movement when opening and holding the hood, hatch, or rear window glass, while the steel outer cylinder supports long-term service in automotive use. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. StrongArm 4035 is a practical choice when replacing a worn lift support on a 1993-1999 Volkswagen Jetta.

What It Helps Fix

• Hood, hatch, or rear glass that will not stay open
• Slow or uneven lift action when opening the panel
• Drooping support caused by loss of gas pressure
• Excessive effort needed to raise the supported panel
• Noise or instability from a worn lift support assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application before installation and match the existing compressed length, extended length, and 10 mm ball socket end style to the original part. For consistent support and balanced operation, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the same panel. Confirm the mounting points are clean and free of damage before attaching the new support.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to deliver smoother operation and longer service life in automotive applications. Part number 4035 is built to the specifications listed for the Volkswagen Jetta fitment shown here.
