Product Description

Keep your Volkswagen's bonnet securely propped open with the Arrowhead Shock Bonnet Stay, designed for reliable support during maintenance and inspections. This gas strut is engineered to fit selected Volkswagen models, ensuring smooth and controlled lifting and lowering of the bonnet. Over time, bonnet stays can lose pressure or develop leaks, resulting in the bonnet failing to stay open or dropping unexpectedly. If you notice your bonnet no longer stays up or feels heavy to lift, it may be time to replace the shock stay. Always check your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment. MiMi Auto Parts offers trusted parts with nationwide delivery across South Africa, making it easy to get your Volkswagen back in top shape.
