Volkswagen Hatch Strut

The hatch is the door for the back of the hatchback and station wagon that you have to move up or down. It is like the hood only that it's located in the rear end.

 

When you try to open the hatch, sometimes it seems to keep falling down on your head while you're still getting something inside the cargo area. That means something is wrong with your hatch strut. The hatch strut is used at the rear of the car and is used to keep the rear hatch on most compacts cars and SUVs open. The hatch strut is like a shock that becomes uncompressed when the hatch is open. Normally this works out fine but overtime can wear it out and be unable to hold the hatch anymore. This could be dangerous if the rear hatch were to drop on your head while you were putting groceries away! Your hatch strut should be a strong and secure support of the hatch. Because the hatch is among the commonly and frequently accessed part of your vehicle, the hatch struts will eventually give in to wearing and tearing after some time.
