RacingLine’s Gas Strut conversion to lift & hold your hood for Golf mk8. Just like it should have come from the factory in other words….

RacingLine’s Gas Strut has been developed exclusively for all Golf mk8 models to replace the nasty manual hood prop that it comes with. Simple DIY fitting in 10 minutes. A product you shouldn’t need, but do!

After some experimentation, RacingLine have produced a gas strut with exactly 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. Simple, and fully reversible DIY fit in ten minutes.

At last – your hood will open easily and stay open while you’re working in the engine bay.
