Volkswagen Polo (1996-2001) Sedan Boot Lid Shock Left = Right is a replacement shock absorber designed for the boot lid of Volkswagen Polo sedans manufactured between 1996 and 2001. This part functions as a gas strut that supports and controls the opening and closing of the boot lid, ensuring smooth and controlled motion while holding the boot open safely.

This unit fits the right-hand side of the boot lid but is listed with left and right compatibility, meaning buyers should verify the side needed for their vehicle. It is classified under shocks, serving as an essential component to prevent the boot lid from slamming shut or falling uncontrollably. When comparing with your old shock, check the length, mounting points, and side orientation to ensure the correct replacement.

As a body panel part specific to the Volkswagen Polo model range from 1996 to 2001, this shock is intended for sedan styles within that year bracket. It is wise to confirm that your vehicle’s boot requires this type of shock before purchase. If unsure, consult the Sales Desk or submit a Request a Part to find a precise match for your Polo.

  • Fits Volkswagen Polo sedan (1996-2001)
  • Supports boot lid motion and stability
  • Right-hand side shock included, compatible with left side
  • Check mounting points and dimensions against your old shock

If this repair may need matching clips, brackets, lights, panels or more than one part, check more Shocks, Quick Repair Bundle or Request a Part before ordering.
