Vaico V10-4717

OE-Style Lift Support for Volkswagen Hatchbacks

Vaico V10-4717 is an OE-style gas strut for Volkswagen rear liftgate applications that require controlled opening and secure support. With a 520 N eject force, 182 mm stroke, and 531.5 mm length, it is built to match the dimensions and operating force needed for proper hatch operation on select Volkswagen e-Golf, Golf, Golf R, and GTI models.

VAICO focuses on replacement parts that follow original equipment specifications, and the VAICO line is aimed at direct-fit service parts for European vehicles. This V10-4717 lift support is engineered around the OE number 5G6827550C application and is a practical choice for restoring consistent liftgate movement on the Volkswagen Golf platform.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE number and vehicle build date before ordering, especially for 2017 Volkswagen Golf, Golf R, and GTI applications with cutoff dates listed in the fitment data. Confirm the mounting dimensions, stroke length, and force rating against the original support before installation. For best results, inspect the opposite side or paired support if the vehicle uses a matched set of lift supports.

Quality Assurance
