Product Description

The Moca Shock Tailgate Stay is designed to support the tailgate or hatch of your Volkswagen, ensuring smooth and controlled opening and closing. This gas strut is part of the INTERIOR EXTERIOR BODY SHOCK STAY category, providing essential assistance when lifting or lowering your vehicle’s tailgate. Over time, tailgate stays can lose pressure or become worn, making the tailgate heavy or difficult to keep open.

This specific shock tailgate stay is compatible with Volkswagen models. It is important to confirm the model, year, engine size, and engine code of your vehicle before ordering to ensure proper fitment. Using the correct shock stay avoids issues with alignment and operation.

Common signs that your tailgate shock stay needs replacement include the tailgate dropping unexpectedly, difficulty holding the tailgate open, or a noticeable hiss or oil leakage from the strut. You may also find the tailgate feels heavier or fails to stay up altogether.

When replacing the shock tailgate stay, always support the tailgate securely to prevent injury. Installation typically involves removing the old strut and fitting the new one using the ball socket end fittings. If you are unsure, consult a professional for assistance.

Order your Volkswagen shock tailgate stay from MiMi Auto Parts for reliable parts and nationwide delivery throughout South Africa. Our team is available to help you confirm compatibility and answer any questions you may have.
