If you find yourself propping up your hatch with a piece of wood, it is definitely time for a refresh. At WestCoastRoccos, we provide the Mk2 Scirocco Hatch Lift Support Strut to restore the convenience and safety of your trunk area. These struts ensure your heavy glass hatch opens smoothly and stays securely in place.
Restoring Mk2 Scirocco Hatch Strut Functionality
The original hatch struts on the Mk2 Scirocco often fail after years of lifting that heavy rear glass. Over time, the internal gas pressure leaks out, especially in colder weather. Consequently, the hatch becomes a safety hazard because it can drop unexpectedly. Replacing these with our high-quality struts is a simple way to “make it right” and protect your head while loading the car.
Our lift supports offer:
-
OEM Fitment: Designed specifically for the Mk2 Scirocco chassis to match the factory length and pressure.
-
High-Pressure Gas Charge: Provides the perfect amount of lift to assist the opening motion without being too stiff to close.
-
Durable Seals: Built with high-quality internal seals to ensure a long service life through thousands of cycles.
-
Easy Installation: Features the correct ball-and-socket ends for a quick snap-on replacement.
Simple Installation for Better Safety
Replacing your hatch struts is one of the easiest DIY projects you can perform on your Volkswagen. First, find a friend to hold the hatch open or use a sturdy prop to support the weight. Then, use a small flat-head screwdriver to pry back the retaining clips on the old strut ends.
Once the clips are loose, the old strut will pop off the ball studs. Simply press the new Mk2 Scirocco Hatch Lift Support Strut onto the studs until you hear them click into place. Because these struts work as a pair, we highly recommend replacing both at the same time. This ensures an even load distribution and prevents the new strut from wearing out prematurely.
