Volkswagen Caddy 2nd Gen (9K) Hood Strut Kit 1995-2004

Complete Hood Strut Kit for Volkswagen Caddy 2nd Gen (9K) 1995-2004

This complete hood strut kit is made for the Volkswagen Caddy 2nd Gen (body / chassis code 9K) produced 1995-2004, and includes one gas strut along with the vehicle-specific mounting components and installation guidance needed for this application. The gas struts hold the hood open and replace the original manual prop rod, so the hood stays up on its own. Rather than a bare replacement strut, this is a ready-to-install kit matched to your vehicle, designed to fit using the factory mounting points with no drilling and no body modification.

Why This Is More Than Just a Gas Strut

Unlike a bare replacement gas strut, this product is supplied as a complete vehicle-specific installation kit with the mounting components and installation guidance required for the listed vehicle application. It brings together the gas struts, vehicle-specific mounting brackets and hardware, and a vehicle-specific installation guide in a single kit, so you have what you need for a do-it-yourself installation.
