Purpose and function of the gas strut

The presented gas strut is dedicated to the right side of the tailgate in the Volkswagen Sharan 7N model. It is responsible for the controlled lifting and holding of the tailgate in a safe working position, as well as for the smooth lowering of the tailgate without sudden movements. Using the correct component on the right side is crucial for maintaining an even load on the hinges and the entire lifting system.

Benefits of using an original component

The original version of the tailgate gas strut is designed for a specific body model, which ensures that it:

• provides appropriately selected lifting and damping force,
• maintains the correct operating line of the tailgate relative to the hinges and the lock,
• reduces the risk of overloading the sheet metal, mounts, and trim elements,
• facilitates daily operation of the trunk, especially with frequent opening and closing. For the user, this means predictable tailgate behavior, no unwanted play, and less stress on the remaining components of the rear body system.

Installation characteristics

The gas strut designed for the right side of the vehicle is structurally matched to the factory mounting points in the Volkswagen Sharan 7N. This facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the original operating geometry of the tailgate without the need for modifications. In practice, this translates into:

• secure seating in the standard body and tailgate mounts,
• correct movement guidance throughout the full range of opening,
• maintaining the tightness and proper closing of the rear part of the vehicle. Selecting the correct gas strut for the right side is particularly important when replacing only one element to maintain the symmetry of the entire lifting system.

Condition and practical application

The item comes from the secondary market, which allows combining factory fit with a favorable purchase cost. A used tailgate gas strut is a good solution in situations where:

• the tailgate falls down on its own or does not stay in the upper position,
• uneven operation of the left and right sides is noticeable,
• mechanical damage to one of the gas struts has occurred. Using an original component from the same model group reduces the risk of compatibility issues and allows maintaining the operating characteristics intended by the vehicle manufacturer.

When selecting used body and glazing elements, it is worth paying attention to the quality of original components and their installation method – you can find more practical tips in the article Spider web on the glass? Why it is better to choose a used original with the manufacturer's logo when replacing, which discusses the approach to choosing parts from the secondary market in terms of safety and durability.
