Product Description

The SKP Shock Bonnet Stay 404mm is designed to support and stabilise the bonnet of your Volkswagen, ensuring safe and convenient access to the engine bay during maintenance or inspections. This gas strut is engineered for reliable performance, providing the necessary lift and hold to prevent accidental bonnet closure.

This specific shock stay is suitable for select Volkswagen models that require a 404mm bonnet support. To ensure proper fitment, always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing an order. If you are unsure, MiMi Auto Parts is here to assist you with compatibility queries.

Common symptoms of a worn or failing bonnet shock stay include difficulty keeping the bonnet open, sudden bonnet drop, or a bonnet that will not stay raised without manual support. You may also notice reduced resistance or a hissing sound when opening the bonnet. If you experience any of these issues, it is recommended to inspect and replace the shock stay promptly.

Replacing a worn bonnet shock stay is a straightforward process, but always ensure the new part matches your vehicle’s specifications. Using the correct shock stay maintains safety and prevents potential damage to your vehicle or injury during engine bay access.
