How To Fix a Failed Hatch by Replacing Hatch Struts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2023
- If your vehicle's hatch is heavy, sagging, or wont stay up, it may be failing lift gate struts. In this video we are dropping the headliner and replacing the hatch struts on a 2006 VW Touareg I just picked up. This repair likely applies to other VAG SUVs Porsche Cayenne #diy #humblemechanic #youtube

Okay, what other Touareg things do we need to handle? These babies have found a new life with the off-road community. AND I LOVE IT
whoever at volkwagen decided that this design was a good idea should be sent to trial
Hello Charles! I have a 2007 Touareg and i have noticed a lack of quality videos on fixes for the model. I absolutely love your channel and i have been a fan for the better part of five years and i absolutely love your channel and all the content you post. Could we expect more content on this vehicle and how to fix it? Would love to see more about the air suspension cars and electronic issues. And again you are an amazing youtuber, absolutely love your channel.
Instructions to change your lightbulbs in the back on the car, start by disassembling the front bumper. 😂. That design is a disaster.
Why do designers/engineers have to replace a simple design, such an exposed struts? Understand that the hidden struts may be aesthetically superior, but it makes no sense to have them be so complex to repair just for the visual treat.
Im very grateful the job to replace these on my GTI involves removing nothing but the bad strut!
Thats so ridiculous for just replace trunk struts. At least they pay well. Probably gravy job for vw/audi tech 😂😂
"Just be real careful, you don't want to punch a hole in this and create a water leak that your Touareg probably already has anyway" LOL Hilarious!
I wonder how they managed to make it that more complicated than the Golf Mk V's setup...
'04 Cayenne, my covers are actually large form-fitted foam plugs held in place with that goopy black sealant
A playlist with all Touareg related content would be so much appreciated.
I have a Cayenne form this era with this era with sagging trunk struts and found this video super helpful. I have officially decided to just put up with the struts instead of replacing them. Thanks!
Awesome video, thanks! Just picked up a 2005 V8 Touareg with air suspension for the same price, turning it into my off-road ranch cruiser.
Always great details ! Thanks Charles
Nice video. Touareg are a very specials cars to work. Everything is super laborious but and the end is satisfying to see the client happy and tell you most people are afraid to work on those cars.
I just did this repair to my 2005 Cayenne and the only difference is the access to the lift struts is they use a foam block with sealant to glue it into place. Trim panels are identical at the C-pillar but the D-pillar is a bit more involved with rear Bose speaker mounting. Also the upper panel to the headliner is same width but twice as deep. PITA merely for all the interior body work that has to be addressed. The actual parts removal and install is less than 10 minutes. I did all 4 since they were toast. I saved a LOT of money not having a shop (private or dealer) do the work!!
Great channel always look forward to your videos
I wish I have time to see all your videos ! You're a real Professional !!!
Can you do a video on all the different sunroofs. The maintenance, cleaning lubing, and drain cleaning. I've got a pano on my Tiguan.
A mk8 sun roof drain cleaning video would be great in the future.
