This Lesjofors hatch lift support is a gas spring designed to ease lifting and support the weight of your rear hatch without a rear wiper. It is a direct OEM replacement for early Volkswagen Transporter (T3) models, specifically the 1979 2.0L H4. Over time, factory supports lose pressure, and this aftermarket part restores proper hatch operation with reliable performance.
