Common Issues It Can Help Address
- Hood, hatch, or rear glass that drops instead of staying open
- Weak or inconsistent lift assistance during opening
- Slow, uneven, or rough support movement
- Loss of holding force in aging gas struts
- Difficulty keeping the panel raised during service or loading
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke, and 10mm ball socket ends against the original support before installation. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so the opening force remains balanced across the hood, hatch, or liftgate. Confirm fitment for your Audi A6 or Audi 100 by model year before ordering.
