Purpose and vehicle placement

The set of struts is designed for installation in the rear body section, on both the right and left sides, allowing for even support of the tailgate. This arrangement ensures proper tailgate geometry, reduces stress on the hinges, and improves the comfort of opening and closing the trunk in the second-generation Skoda Fabia.

Technical and functional characteristics

The tailgate struts in this set operate on a gas-based system, which allows for smooth lifting and controlled lowering of the trunk lid. Properly selected operating parameters result in:

• stable holding of the tailgate in the open position,
• reduced load on the hinges and lock,
• more comfortable trunk operation in daily use.

The components belong to the Gas springs, locks, hinges and other parts group, allowing them to be used as part of comprehensive tailgate maintenance – together with the lock, hinges, or other components responsible for the operation of the trunk lid.

Condition of components and practical application

The set of struts comes from disassembly and is intended for users looking for a cost-effective solution while maintaining proper operating parameters. Replacing the set on both sides restores the correct opening and closing characteristics of the tailgate, which is particularly important in vehicles used intensively or where the trunk is accessed frequently.

Selecting the right components for a specific Skoda model is facilitated by assigning the product to the brand and clearly defining its placement on the vehicle. This allows the user to precisely plan the repair of the rear body section, avoiding the accidental installation of incompatible components.

Integration with other tailgate components

The struts work in conjunction with the hinges and the tailgate lock, influencing the even distribution of forces during opening and closing. In practice, this means less wear on the locking mechanism and more predictable tailgate behavior, which improves vehicle ergonomics. Replacing worn struts with a functional set is one of the basic service actions in case of problems with keeping the tailgate in the upper position.
