FAQs
Should I replace both struts at the same time?
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace struts in pairs to ensure the boot lid remains balanced and operates smoothly.
What does the 460 N rating mean?
This refers to the Newtons of force the strut exerts. It is the measure of the gas pressure available to lift the hatch.
Can I install this myself?
If you are comfortable with basic automotive tools, you can install it yourself, but always ensure the boot lid is securely propped open.
How do I know if this part fits my car?
Compare the technical specifications (length, stroke, force) with your existing strut or use a manufacturer-specific parts lookup tool using your VIN.
Is the strut filled with gas?
Yes, this is a gas-pressurized strut. Never attempt to open, puncture, or apply heat to the cylinder.
Troubleshooting
Hatch still feels heavy or falls after replacement
Ensure both struts on the boot have been replaced; a single new strut may not be enough to compensate for a completely worn-out counterpart.
Strut does not snap onto the mounting stud
Check the mounting stud for corrosion or debris; clean it thoroughly and ensure the retaining clip on the strut is properly aligned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Febi 27682 should be performed by a competent individual. To ensure safety, keep the hatch supported with a prop or a second person during the removal of the old strut.
- Compatibility Check: Always verify the part number against your vehicle's make, model, and year using a parts catalog or your vehicle identification number (VIN).
- Installation: Remove the retaining clips at both ends of the old strut. Install the new Febi strut by clicking the ends firmly onto the ball studs.
- Maintenance: Regularly wipe the piston rod with a clean, dry cloth to prevent dirt or debris from damaging the seals. Avoid using lubricants on the rod, as this can attract grit and lead to seal failure.
