Purpose and function of the set

The presented gas pressure strut tailgate boot trunk pair has been designed for the W245 series models, where it is responsible for smooth opening and stable holding of the tailgate in a set position. The properly selected operating characteristics of the strut reduce the risk of the tailgate falling suddenly, which is important for both user safety and the protection of body components.

As an element from the Tailgates and rear parts group, the set works with the hinges and the tailgate lock, creating a coherent system responsible for convenient access to the cargo area. A properly selected strut reduces the loads transferred to the mounts and hinges, which promotes a longer service life of the entire mechanism.

Construction and operating characteristics

The gas pressure strut uses a gas spring enclosed in a sealed housing, which allows for predictable, repeatable tailgate support force. The design of the set is adapted to the geometry of the W245 body, ensuring the correct kinematics of the tailgate movement – from the moment of unlocking, through the lifting phase, to the final stabilization in the open position.

The used element retains its functionality, and its operating parameters are selected to ensure comfortable trunk operation without the need for excessive force. The appropriate damping characteristic reduces vibrations and shocks during closing, which positively affects the operating culture of the entire rear part of the body.

Benefits of use in a Mercedes

Using a dedicated gas pressure strut set in a Mercedes W245 allows you to maintain the factory operation of the tailgate. The most important advantages include:

• increased comfort of tailgate operation thanks to the smooth movement of the strut,
• better stability of the tailgate in the open position, which facilitates loading and unloading,
• reduction of loads acting on hinges and mounts,
• maintaining consistent operation of elements from the Tailgates and rear parts group in a Mercedes vehicle.

Thanks to a properly selected set, you can restore the correct operation of the tailgate, which is important for both utility and maintenance – especially in vehicles used intensively on a daily basis.

Condition and service application

The product is in used condition, which makes it an attractive service solution for users looking for a functional replacement while maintaining reasonable repair costs. This type of element is suitable for replacing worn or leaking struts that no longer provide adequate tailgate support force.

It is always worth verifying the selection of the set for a specific vehicle based on the vehicle's technical data and the information contained in the specification, which will avoid assembly problems and ensure proper cooperation with other components of the rear body part.
