OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Rear Hatch Strut Stiffer-than-OE Kit, 1980-91 Vanagon, (PAIR, L/R equal), EACH, 251-829-332-PR
Rear Hatch Strut, 1980-91 Vanagon, Left or Right, EACH, 251-829-332-251-8210
 
Rear Hatch Strut 25% stiffer, 1980-91 Vanagon, (Left or Right), EACH, 251-829-332-251-8210 is used to prevent the rear hatch from clobbering you in the head when accessing the rear cargo area! These are often shot, with owners resorting to using a stick instead! Replace those shot struts before the hatch hits your significant other in the head and ruins your day!

Originally VW used a strong strut on one side, and a weak one on the other, which really makes no sense. Just use these slightly stiffer than OEM struts on both sides. We strongly recommend that you replace both struts at the same time, if you only replace one it significantly shortens the lifespan since it's having to work so hard, and ultimately costs you more money.

Original Hatch Struts were 251-829-331A for the left, and 251-829-332 for the right.
