Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented set of gas struts is designed for installation on the tailgate of the third-generation Seat Leon model. These components work on both sides of the tailgate – left and right – ensuring even distribution of force and smooth guidance of the lid during opening and closing.

Properly selected gas struts contribute to:

• convenience of tailgate operation – they reduce the need for force when lifting,
• safety – they keep the tailgate in a stable position after opening,
• protection of hinges and the lock – they reduce stress on the tailgate mounting system.

Technical characteristics and installation

The set includes two struts designed to work in the rear part of the body, on the right and left sides. The construction based on pressurized gas allows for repeatable support force, which translates into predictable tailgate behavior in various operating conditions.

The struts are prepared for installation in factory mounting points on the body and tailgate, which enables direct replacement of worn components without the need for modifications. With correct installation, the operating geometry of the tailgate is maintained, as well as compatibility with the original hinges and lock.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The offered set comes from dismantling and is classified as a used part. For many users, this is a reasonable compromise between cost and functionality – especially in the case of mechanical components that can be easily verified for proper operation.

Using used gas struts allows you to:

• reduce repair costs compared to new components,
• maintain the original vehicle manufacturer's specification,
• restore the correct operation of the tailgate without excessive interference with the car's structure.

Practical application and user comfort

Efficient tailgate gas struts significantly improve daily vehicle operation – especially when using the cargo space frequently. Appropriately selected support force reduces the risk of the tailgate falling unexpectedly, which increases user safety and protects body components from damage.

Thanks to this set, the Seat Leon Mk3 5F regains the original functionality of the tailgate, and operating the boot becomes more predictable and convenient, even at lower temperatures, when worn gas struts often lose their effectiveness.
