Raise and hold your liftgate with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat Liftgate Lift Support 4B-7628LW. This gas-charged lift support uses dynamic damping speed control to support the liftgate as it opens and to help hold it in the raised position. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1999-2006 and 2014 Volkswagen Golf, the 2001-2006, 2008, and 2014 Volkswagen Jetta, the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat, and the 2004 Volkswagen R32 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full engine-level details.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold evenly.
