Product Description

The SKP Shock Bonnet Stay 730mm is designed to support the bonnet of select Volkswagen models, ensuring safe and convenient access to your engine bay. This gas strut features a robust cylindrical construction with rounded socket connectors for secure mounting. It provides reliable assistance when lifting and holding your bonnet open, making routine checks and maintenance much easier.

This shock stay is compatible with Volkswagen vehicles, including models such as the Golf V and Jetta V. However, due to variations between model years and engine specifications, it is essential to confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

Common symptoms of a failing bonnet stay include the bonnet not staying up, sudden dropping of the bonnet, difficulty lifting the bonnet, or a noticeable loss of resistance when opening. You may also notice noises such as squeaking or popping, or visible wear and damage on the strut itself.

If your bonnet stay is no longer functioning as intended, replacement is recommended to prevent accidental closure and ensure safety during engine inspections. Over time, gas struts can lose pressure or develop leaks, reducing their effectiveness.
