This was recommended for the automatic rear hatch of my VW Passat wagon, however the weighting is off just enough that I have to lightly push the hatch down, or the safety mechanism will reverse and reopen. Mostly just annoying.
I was a little skeptical of the prices, but said I'll try them anyways. And wow! They are perfect!, I ordered them and were here in 2 days!!! I couldn't be more happier with these things.
Searched local and national auto parts store for this item. Found it on ebay for 1/2 the price for exact same brand and model number. Easy to install and they work as designed.
