Type 25 Tailgate Gas Strut (800Nm) - Heavy Duty

Upgrade your rear tailgate operation with this heavy-duty 800Nm gas strut, designed for VW T25 (T3) models. Offering significantly more lifting force than standard 600Nm units, this strut provides improved support and smoother operation—especially useful on vans fitted with bike racks, spare wheels, or additional rear-mounted weight.

Gas struts work by using pressurised gas to assist in lifting and holding the tailgate open. Over time, original struts lose pressure, resulting in weak lifting, sagging tailgates, or sudden drops. This upgraded version restores confidence and usability, making opening and holding the tailgate effortless even under load.

The increased 800Nm rating ensures the tailgate stays securely open, reducing strain and improving safety during loading or working at the rear of the vehicle. Manufactured for durability and consistent performance, this strut is a direct replacement for the original units.

For best results, it is strongly recommended to replace struts in pairs to ensure even lifting force and smooth operation.
