The large rear glass hatch fitted to Porsche transaxle models and later Porsche 928 vehicles provides excellent access to the luggage compartment, but its weight places significant demands on the support struts. Over time, the internal gas pressure within the strut gradually weakens, reducing its ability to hold the tailgate safely open.

Replacing worn tailgate dampers restores smooth opening and closing action while helping prevent the hatch from unexpectedly dropping during loading, maintenance or everyday use.

What Does a Rear Tailgate Glass Strut Do?

The tailgate strut uses compressed gas within a sealed cylinder to assist with lifting the rear hatch and to support its weight when fully open.

A properly functioning rear hatch strut helps provide:

Smooth tailgate opening and closing Secure support of the rear glass hatch Easier access to the luggage compartment Improved safety during loading and maintenance Reduced strain on hinges and mounting points Convenient day-to-day vehicle use

Without adequate support from the gas struts, the heavy rear hatch can become difficult to lift and may fail to remain open safely.

When Should a Tailgate Strut Be Replaced?

Tailgate gas struts are wear-and-tear components that gradually lose pressure as they age. Exposure to temperature changes, repeated operation and long-term use can accelerate deterioration.

Common symptoms of failing tailgate struts include:

Rear hatch slowly drops when open Tailgate fails to stay fully raised Increased effort required to lift the hatch Weak lifting assistance Oil leakage from the strut body Uneven hatch operation Sudden hatch closure

Replacing weak or worn tailgate dampers helps restore safe operation and prevents accidental hatch closure that could cause injury or damage to the vehicle.
