Product Description

The Arrowhead Shock Bonnet Stay is designed to support and securely hold the bonnet open on selected Volkswagen models. This gas strut assists with smooth and controlled lifting and lowering of the bonnet, making engine access safer and more convenient. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance during routine maintenance or inspection tasks.

This part is suitable for Volkswagen vehicles, specifically those models where a shock bonnet stay with a metal socket is required. Always check your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

Common symptoms of a failing shock bonnet stay include the bonnet not staying open, sudden bonnet closure, difficulty lifting the bonnet, or a noticeable loss of resistance when opening. You may also observe rattling noises or visible wear on the strut body or mounting points.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is advisable to replace the shock bonnet stay promptly to maintain safety and prevent accidental bonnet closure. Installation is straightforward but should be done with care to ensure correct alignment and secure mounting.
