Product Description

The Arrowhead Shock Tailgate Stay is designed to support and control the opening and closing of your Volkswagen's tailgate. This gas strut ensures smooth, controlled movement, preventing sudden drops and making it easier to access your boot or load area. It is a key component in the INTERIOR EXTERIOR BODY SHOCK STAY category, providing essential support for daily use.

This shock tailgate stay is compatible with Volkswagen models. To ensure the correct fitment, please confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering.

Common signs that your tailgate shock stay may need replacement include difficulty lifting the tailgate, the tailgate not staying open, or sudden closing. You might also notice unusual noises or visible wear on the strut.

Replacing a worn shock tailgate stay restores safe, reliable operation of your tailgate. Always replace in pairs if both sides are equipped for balanced performance and to avoid uneven wear.
