Hello.. group.....

I have another problem.....

The Rear Hatch has 2 small shock like Widgets that HOLD the Hatch open... 2 on each side.

The one on the outside of the drivers side has broken.

I think the part is about $ 120.00 Canadian....

The V.W DEALER has never encountered this before, so they say.

My personal Mechanic looked at some software on repairs, she thinks its 7 - 8 hours labor and something about taking the window out to get to the parts.

Anyone run into this before.

For that price, I'll be using a piece of WOOD to hold it up....lol

NOT, F'n paying $ 1000.00 to FIX this Problem.

ANY THOUGHTS OR INPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

( Maybe I bungee cord would hole it up somehow?..... )

Sorry the photos are sideways, they weren't on my laptop.....???

Sorry, but the use of wood has been superseded on this site by luber.

Here's the how-to . . .

P.S. Failed rams on the tailgate is a well known fault. Find another dealer!
