Product Description

Restore smooth and controlled operation to your Volkswagen’s tailgate with the Arrowhead Shock Tailgate Stay. This component is designed to support the tailgate, ensuring it opens and closes with the correct amount of resistance. Over time, tailgate shock stays can wear out, leading to a heavy or unpredictable tailgate that can be inconvenient and potentially unsafe.

This shock tailgate stay is specifically suited for Volkswagen models, particularly those requiring a reliable support mechanism for the rear tailgate. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

Typical signs that your tailgate shock stay may need replacement include the tailgate dropping suddenly, difficulty in keeping the tailgate open, or a noticeable loss of resistance when lifting or lowering the tailgate. These symptoms indicate the gas strut is no longer providing adequate support.

Replacing a worn shock tailgate stay is straightforward and helps prevent accidental drops or damage to your vehicle’s tailgate. If you notice your tailgate is no longer staying open or feels heavier than usual, it is time to consider a replacement.

Order your Arrowhead Shock Tailgate Stay from MiMi Auto Parts for reliable fitment and quality. We offer nationwide delivery across South Africa and are always here to help you find the right part for your Volkswagen.
