Application and vehicle function

The presented gas tailgate strut is designed for installation in the rear part of the body, with the possibility of use on either the right or left side. It is responsible for keeping the tailgate in a stable position when opened, as well as controlling its movement during closing, which reduces stress on the hinges and mounting elements.

Thanks to precisely selected operating parameters, the strut works in harmony with the geometry of the VW Tiguan AX1 tailgate, ensuring repeatable, predictable performance in daily use – from short stops to intensive urban operation.

Construction and technical characteristics

The element belongs to the group of factory Volkswagen components, which translates into dimensional compatibility with the original mounting points on the body and tailgate. The design, based on a gas cylinder integrated with a piston rod, allows for obtaining the appropriate support force while maintaining compact dimensions.

This type of solution provides:

• controlled resistance when opening and closing the tailgate,
• stable support of the tailgate in the upper operating position,
• reduction of vibrations and impacts when closing,
• consistent operation on both sides of the vehicle when using a pair of struts.

As an element from the Boot lids and rear parts category, the strut works with the hinges, lock, and other components of the rear lid, creating a complete system responsible for the safe operation of the trunk.

Condition, selection, and installation

The product is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical replacement of a worn-out strut while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Selection is based on the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, allowing for precise verification of compatibility with a specific version of the VW Tiguan AX1.

Placement on the vehicle includes the rear body zone, with the possibility of mounting on the right or left side, which facilitates the configuration of both a single element and replacement in pairs. Installation takes place at existing mounting points, without the need for interference with the body structure.

Benefits of using an original strut

Using an original tailgate strut in the VW Tiguan AX1 ensures the preservation of the factory operating characteristics of the rear lid. The user gains:

• consistent tailgate operation with other elements of the rear body system,
• appropriately selected support force, reducing the risk of the tailgate falling spontaneously,
• compatibility with factory mounting points without additional modifications,
• the ability to replace a single element or the entire set on both sides of the vehicle.

Thanks to this, restoring the proper operation of the tailgate is quick, and the final effect is predictable and in line with the manufacturer's assumptions.

Expansion of the Volkswagen tailgate system

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or modernization of the rear body zone in your Volkswagen and need other elements from the same group, such as tailgate hinges, locks, or additional supports, check the available parts in the Volkswagen boot lids and rear parts category.

Safe selection of used elements

When working on the rear part of the body, there is often also a need to verify the condition of other vehicle systems, including the braking system. If you want to deepen your knowledge on the safe selection of used components, such as discs, calipers, or ABS elements, it is worth using the practical tips contained in the article Second-hand braking system: how to safely choose discs, calipers, and ABS?, which discusses the key criteria for assessing the condition of parts from the secondary market.
