Keystone VW1237108 Hood Lift Support OEM Replacement - 561823359B

The Keystone VW1237108 is an OEM-replacement hood lift support strut designed for the Volkswagen Passat. This is a gas-charged, pressurized rod-cylinder spring that holds the hood securely in the open position, keeping it from falling unexpectedly during maintenance or inspection.

Hood lift supports lose holding force over time due to normal wear, temperature cycling, and repeated use. A failing strut may cause the hood to drift downward or drop suddenly, creating a safety hazard for technicians and vehicle owners alike. This direct-fit replacement restores proper hood support to OEM specifications.

• OEM-style gas-charged pressurized cylinder construction
• Direct bolt-on replacement — no modification required
