This Tuff Support 612485 part number is used where a worn lift support no longer holds a panel in the open position or where the original support has lost pressure. It is a practical replacement for Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta lift support service, as well as Audi A3 and Audi S3 hatch or rear access applications. This part number, 612485, is also a fitment match for several VW platform variants across the listed model years.

Common Replacement Uses

  • Rear hatch, hood, or liftgate that drops or will not stay open
  • Weak or slow-moving gas strut performance
  • Uneven or inconsistent panel support during opening
  • Noise or binding from an aging lift support
  • Restoring proper opening and holding action on supported panels

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, model, and body code before ordering. Compare the original support length, end fittings, and mounting style to confirm the correct application for your Volkswagen or Audi. For best results, replace supports in matched applications when the vehicle uses paired lift supports.

Quality Assurance

Tuff Support is owned by ISC Industries, Turkey's premier lift support manufacturer, and the brand focuses on application-specific replacement support components for automotive service.
