Purpose and function of the gas strut

The presented gas strut is a component of the system responsible for the operation of the electric tailgate, working in conjunction with the vehicle's control system. Its task is to transfer drive to the tailgate so that the opening and closing process is smooth, predictable, and safe for the user and the contents of the trunk.

Thanks to the possibility of mounting on the right or left side of the vehicle, the component allows for flexible use depending on the factory configuration of a given unit. A properly selected gas strut reduces stress on the hinges and lock, which translates into a longer service life for the entire tailgate assembly.

Construction and fitment for VW Sharan 7N

The gas strut has been designed for the VW Sharan 7N generation body, taking into account the geometry of the tailgate, the weight of the lid, and the operating characteristics of the electric drive. This means proper adjustment of the working length, mounting points, and range of motion, which facilitates installation and ensures correct cooperation with factory brackets.

The original origin from the Volkswagen brand helps maintain consistency with other elements of the tailgate system, minimizing the risk of malfunction, play, or unwanted noises during operation. The construction of the gas strut is prepared for cooperation with the factory electric control, without the need for installation modifications.

Condition, verification, and service application

The item is offered in used condition, which makes it a cost-effective solution for vehicle maintenance when it is necessary to replace a damaged gas strut while keeping repair costs reasonable. This type of component is particularly useful for:

• repairing a malfunctioning electric tailgate,
• restoring the correct range of motion of the tailgate,
• reducing excessive load on hinges and the lock,
• service after a rear-end collision.

Selecting the right gas strut for a specific vehicle configuration is facilitated by dedicated manufacturer markings and assignment to the Tailgates and rear parts category, which allows for maintaining compliance with the factory body design.

Benefits of using an original gas strut

Using an original component from the Volkswagen group in place of a worn or damaged element allows for maintaining the predictable operation of the electric tailgate. The main advantages of such a solution include:

• stable tailgate operation – reduction of jerking and uneven movement,
• maintaining the functionality of electric opening and closing,
• better fit to factory mounting points,
• consistency with other elements of the tailgate system.

Thanks to this, the gas strut can be used both for standard maintenance replacement and for more extensive bodywork and mechanical repairs in the rear part of the vehicle.
