This complete hood strut kit is made for the Volkswagen Passat 7 (2010-2015) and includes two gas struts 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.
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.
The kit includes the listed gas struts, vehicle-specific mounting components and installation guidance. Exact brackets and fasteners vary by vehicle application; see the included vehicle-specific installation guide for the precise contents for your Volkswagen Passat 7.
Installation involves fitting the vehicle-specific mounting brackets to the factory mounting points, attaching the gas struts, and securing the hardware as shown in the included guide. Because the kit uses existing factory points, no drilling or body modification is required. Always follow the included vehicle-specific installation guide for the exact mounting locations and sequence for your Volkswagen Passat 7.
This kit is designed for do-it-yourself installation in up to 30 minutes using the factory mounting points, with no drilling and no body modification. Basic hand tools are typically all that is needed. Follow the included vehicle-specific manual for the correct steps for your vehicle.
Confirm the model, production year, generation and body configuration match your vehicle, and review the supplier fitment notes listed above. If your vehicle has a specific hood type (for example aluminum or steel) or configuration, make sure it matches this listed application before ordering.
