Product Description

The Moca Shock Tailgate Stay is designed to support the safe and smooth operation of your Volkswagen's tailgate. This gas strut assists in lifting and securely holding the tailgate open, making loading and unloading easier and preventing accidental closure. It is an essential component for the INTERIOR EXTERIOR BODY SHOCK STAY system, ensuring both convenience and safety when accessing your vehicle's boot.

This part is specifically compatible with various Volkswagen models, including selected Polo and Vivo variants. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a failing tailgate shock include the tailgate dropping unexpectedly, difficulty lifting the hatch, or the tailgate not staying open. You may also notice hissing sounds or visible wear on the gas strut. These issues can make everyday vehicle use inconvenient and potentially hazardous.

Replace your tailgate shock stay when you notice reduced lifting power or if the tailgate fails to remain open. Regular inspection and timely replacement help maintain the safety and functionality of your vehicle's tailgate.
