These rear tailgate struts are engineered for direct compatibility with the 2012–2020 Skoda Octavia III 5E, 5E5, and 5E6 Estate models. They accurately replace component numbers 575827851, 575827851A, 575827851B, and 575827851C and are made to the actual OEM specifications. You will not have to worry about aftermarket components not fitting correctly, as the precise dimensions, mounting locations, and connector design ensure they fit flawlessly with factory hardware.
Whether you are replacing damaged electrics or repairing a worn-out liftgate system, these struts fit flawlessly and restore the vehicle to factory function. As a result, the liftgate maintains its factory operation. Both experts and do-it-yourselfers may confidently complete the repair due to the spherical joint, single-row 2-pin connector, and ideal plug fit.
This new strut pair's integrated 72W electric motor is one of its outstanding features. This motor's purpose is to move the liftgate under various loads by delivering a constant torque. Whether it is empty or loaded with the typical weight of cargo accessories, the motor provides the tailgate with continual force, preventing it from hesitating or jerking. A precisely designed spring rod improves the system's performance by smoothly absorbing movement variations, reducing internal friction, and increasing liftgate stability.
When you replace old, worn-out struts that clunk, grind, or squeak from internal wear, it is particularly easy to notice how quiet they are. The liftgate operates more silently and smoothly with this updated design, making daily use easier. In parking lots or residences with low noise levels, enhanced motion control is useful.
High-strength steel treated to resist rust is used to make these struts. They can tolerate temperatures between -86°F and 176°F. Because of this, the liftgate remains operational throughout the year, regardless of the temperature changes from winter to summer. The structure of this design is robust even when the temperature changes, which might weaken less expensive components.
Daily opening and closing, frequent vibration, and prolonged use will not alter the steel body's shape. Vehicles exposed to heat, salt, or snow, or frequently parked outside, will greatly benefit from the reinforced design. Because of its durability, the liftgate will require less maintenance over time, helping prevent it from drooping or losing pressure.
The 360N of weight that each strut can support is more than sufficient to raise and lower the tailgate consistently. This robust support ensures the liftgate opens and closes fully in 5 to 8 seconds, restoring its initial performance. The entire rear assembly lasts longer since the balanced force also keeps the liftgate hinges, latch mechanism, and other body parts from experiencing excessive stress.
After 30,000 fatigue cycles of testing, the struts' lifespan is significantly longer than that of typical everyday use. The speed's smoothness and predictability, which eliminate slamming, lagging, and uneven movement, will appeal to drivers. It is more pleasant and safer to carry groceries, access luggage, and handle heavy items due to its steady lifting strength.
A protective rubber cover and sealed edges around the wiring entrance ports are just two of the rubber sealing components that help extend the struts' lifespan. These protect the motor housing and the mechanical joints from moisture, dust, and debris. In damp or dusty regions, these protection seals are crucial for preventing premature corrosion or motor damage.
Additionally, FEP-coated insulation protects the wiring from abrasion, heat, and friction inside the tailgate channel. By ensuring that electrical conductivity remains constant over years of use, these preventive measures lower the likelihood of power outages or operational disruptions. The liftgate system lasts longer overall because the design protects the internal mechanism.
Installing a single-row, 2-pin plug compatible with the car's electrical system is simpler. Due to factory-style spherical joints, the struts securely snap into place and retain the correct pivot range after installation. With a few simple tools and sufficient preparation, even non-mechanics can install the pair.
The electrical connector fits the original wiring harness, so there is no need to rewire or splice anything. It eliminates the possibility of wiring errors that could harm the liftgate electronics and shortens the installation time. The rear tailgate struts function immediately after installation, allowing you to regain full automated liftgate control without recalibration.
Each strut's reinforced moving components maintain a robust mechanical engagement during the hundreds of daily motions. The machine operates consistently and dependably, without fading quickly, thanks to high-quality springs, well-lubricated joints, and a long-lasting motor assembly. By using premium metals, protective coatings, and sealed components, the actuator has a long lifespan. It continues to function well even after extensive use.
Whether used on daily commuter cars parked outside or on family automobiles with constant cargo access, these rear tailgate struts provide dependable operation, keeping things convenient and safe. Better engineering prevents the liftgate from malfunctioning unexpectedly, resulting in a more reliable driving experience for many years to come.
