A product you shouldn't need, but do!
Our new Golf mk8 Gas Strut conversion kit lets you get rid of the cheap bonnet prop that the car now comes with.
- Simple, and fully reversible DIY fit in ten minutes. No cutting or drilling required.
- After some experimentation, we have produced a gas strut with the correct length and pressure for the Golf 8 bonnet. Lifts and closes with the perfect resistance.
- Included is a high-grade stainless steel ball-end bracket, which screws onto the existing bonnet latch bracket stud - no new holes or drilling needed.
- At last - your bonnet will open easily and stay open while you're working in the engine bay.

Hood gas strut
Work perfectly on the MK8!

Racing Line Hood Strut
Should Mk8 Golf R have come with it? Yes. But it didn't, and this fixes that. Install is ridiculously easy, (like less than 10 mins easy) but it still would have been nice to have install instructions in the box. You do need to adjust the coolant hose so it doesn't rub and I removed the hood prop because it can also supposedly hit the strut when closed (I tossed mine in the space under the trunk floor just in case). Neither are a big deal but is something to be aware of.

Racingline MK8 Hood Gas Strut Lifter
Fonctionne très bien, facile d'installation. Presque identique à celui que j'avais dans ma Golf Tsi MK7.5 2018. Un peu hésitant à l`ouverture du capot, faut l'aider à monter. L'original de Volkswagen est plus puissant s'ouvre plus facilement.
