Product Description

Keep your Audi or Volkswagen's bonnet securely supported with the Arrowhead Shock Bonnet Stay, designed for reliable operation in the INTERIOR EXTERIOR BODY SHOCK STAY category. This gas strut assists in smoothly lifting and holding the bonnet open, making engine bay access safer and more convenient during maintenance or inspections.

This part is compatible with select Audi and Volkswagen models. Always check your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure proper fitment. If you are unsure, contact MiMi Auto Parts for assistance.

Common signs your shock bonnet stay needs attention include the bonnet not staying up, sudden dropping, or requiring manual support. You may also notice increased effort to lift the bonnet, jerky movement, or visible wear on the strut itself.

Replacing a worn shock bonnet stay restores safe and easy bonnet operation, preventing accidental closure and ensuring you can work on your vehicle with confidence. If your current stay is weak or failing, it is advisable to replace it promptly.
