Product Description

The Arrowhead Shock Tailgate Stay is designed to support and control the opening and closing of your Volkswagen's tailgate, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. This gas strut is a vital component within the INTERIOR EXTERIOR BODY SHOCK STAY category, helping to safely hold the tailgate in position and prevent unwanted movement.

This particular shock tailgate stay is compatible with selected Volkswagen models. Before purchasing, please confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure the correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a worn or failing tailgate shock include difficulty lifting or holding the tailgate open, sudden dropping, or noticeable loss of resistance when operating the tailgate. If your tailgate feels heavy or will not stay up, the shock stay may need replacement.

Replacing a faulty shock tailgate stay restores proper function and safety to your tailgate, preventing accidental closure and making daily use much easier. Always replace in pairs if both sides are equipped, and follow your vehicle's recommended procedures for installation.
