Product Details and Specifications

The StrongArm 6535 trunk lid lift support is a specific fit part designed for Volkswagen Polo vehicles. It features a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. The lift support measures 7.18 inches when compressed and extends to 10.18 inches, with a stroke length of 3.0 inches, providing the necessary range of motion for trunk lid operation. The inner shaft diameter is 8.0 mm, ensuring strength and stability during use.

Both ends of the lift support utilize 10mm ball socket connectors; one end combines nylon and steel for enhanced durability, while the other end is nylon only, reducing friction and wear. The internal design excludes a rebound spring, focusing on consistent force application. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to maintain smooth movement and reduce noise. The maximum force output is rated at 137 Newtons, suitable for supporting the trunk lid weight of Volkswagen Polo models.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6535 trunk lid lift support requires matching the ball socket ends to the existing mounting points on the Volkswagen Polo trunk lid and body. Ensure the lift support is oriented correctly with the nylon and steel ball socket end positioned as per original equipment.
