FAQs
Should I replace one strut or both?
It is highly recommended to replace both gas struts at the same time to ensure even balance and prevent premature failure of the new unit.
Can I install this myself?
If you are a competent individual with basic mechanical knowledge, you can perform the installation, provided you have a way to securely prop up the tailgate while working.
How do I know if this part fits my car?
Always verify your vehicle's specific fitment requirements by cross-referencing your car's make, model, and year with the part number 47078 before ordering.
What is the eject force of this strut?
The Febi 47078 boot gas strut has an eject force of 435 N.
Does the package include mounting hardware?
No, the package typically contains the gas strut itself. You should reuse the existing ball studs from your vehicle.
Troubleshooting
Tailgate feels heavy or will not stay open
The gas strut has lost its charge; check if both struts are failing and replace them.
Tailgate makes a creaking noise during operation
Clean the piston rod with a lint-free cloth and apply a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
The strut does not fit onto the mounting stud
Verify that you have the correct part number for your specific vehicle and check that the mounting ball studs are not damaged or oversized.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety during setup, the tailgate should be supported by a second person or a secure prop before removing the old strut. Once the old unit is detached, snap the new Febi 47078 onto the existing ball studs. It is vital to verify that this specific part number matches your vehicle model's requirements by checking the manufacturer's catalog or using the vehicle identification number (VIN). For maintenance, keep the piston rod clean and free of abrasive dirt, grease, or paint to ensure the internal seals remain airtight and functional over time.
