Diagram ref no 3

The rear tailgate damper is a gas-assisted support strut fitted between the vehicle body and rear tailgate. It provides controlled assistance when opening the tailgate and helps support its weight once fully raised.

This version is specifically for vehicles equipped with the rear window wiper (option code 425).

What this part does
  • Supports the weight of the rear tailgate
  • Assists when opening the tailgate
  • Helps hold the tailgate securely in the raised position
  • Provides controlled tailgate movement
  • Replaces weak or worn original gas struts
  • Suitable for vehicles with rear window wiper
  • Supplied as an OE Match replacement part

Why Replace This Part? 
Tailgate gas struts gradually lose pressure and lifting force with age and repeated use. Weak dampers may no longer support the tailgate correctly, causing it to fall or requiring additional effort to open. Common signs of worn tailgate dampers include:
  • Tailgate will not stay fully open
  • Tailgate slowly drops when raised
  • Increased effort is required to open the tailgate
  • Tailgate feels unusually heavy
  • Gas strut shows signs of leakage or damage

Replacing worn dampers restores proper support and safer tailgate operation.

When to Replace This Part
  • Tailgate no longer remains open
  • Gas struts have lost lifting force
  • Tailgate drops unexpectedly
  • Damper is leaking or damaged
  • Rear hatch components are being refurbished
  • One or both original dampers have deteriorated

Where it fits on the car
Fits to the rear tailgate / hatch assembly.
