Detailed Description
The StrongArm 6819 is a tailgate lift support built for the rear hatch on the Volkswagen Lupo. It uses pressurized-cylinder construction to help maintain stable tailgate positioning and controlled opening and closing action. With an 18.0 mm cylinder outside diameter, 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter, and specific vehicle fitment, this lift support matches the application requirements for 2005-2009 Volkswagen Lupo models. This part cross-references Gates 6819 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Tailgate that drops too quickly when opened
- Rear hatch that no longer stays raised
- Uneven or weak lift support action
- Worn gas strut performance on a Volkswagen Lupo tailgate
- Reduced control when opening or closing the rear hatch
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm vehicle fitment by year and model before installation. The end fittings are ball socket style, so the support should be matched to the existing mounting points on the tailgate and body. For balanced operation and consistent support, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the rear hatch system.
Quality Assurance
StrongArm states that its lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. The 6819 is built as a specific-fit replacement for the Volkswagen Lupo platform.
