VW Liftgate Support Strut Holder - Genuine VW WHT007516

Product Information

The liftgate support strut holder is a small but essential mounting component that secures the gas-charged liftgate strut to the vehicle body or liftgate. It ensures proper pivoting and load distribution, allowing the strut to safely assist with opening and holding the liftgate in position. Typically constructed from durable metal or reinforced plastic, the holder is engineered for strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life under repeated use.

• Loose or detached strut connection – liftgate strut separates from the mount, preventing proper operation.
• Cracks, wear, or broken holder material – compromises stability and safety of the liftgate assembly.
• Difficulty or inability to keep the liftgate open – indicates the holder is failing to secure the strut correctly.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
