Product Description

The SKP Shock Tailgate Stay is designed to support the opening and controlled closing of your Volkswagen's tailgate. This gas strut is essential for holding the tailgate securely in place, preventing sudden drops or slamming that can cause damage or injury. Whether you're accessing your load area or simply need to keep the tailgate raised, this part ensures smooth and reliable operation every time.

This shock tailgate stay is compatible with selected Volkswagen vehicles. For precise fitment, please check your model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing your order.

Common symptoms of a failing tailgate shock include the tailgate dropping suddenly, difficulty lifting or keeping the tailgate open, or noticeable hissing noises from the strut. If you notice uneven movement or the tailgate feels unusually heavy, your shock stay may need replacement.

It is advisable to replace the shock tailgate stay as soon as you notice reduced performance or loss of pressure. Worn or leaking struts can compromise safety and convenience, making daily use of your vehicle more difficult.
