• Force Rating: 540 N (Newton) – ideal for medium to heavy duty tailgate support.
• Length: 280 mm – compact yet powerful, fitting most standard rear compartments.
• Material Composition: High‑strength steel housing with corrosion‑resistant coating; internal piston and spring made from premium alloy for extended life.
• Operating Temperature Range: -40 °C to +120 °C – suitable for extreme climates.
• Weight: Approximately 1.2 kg – lightweight for easy handling during installation.
• Mounting Options: Dual‑sided mounting with pre‑drilled holes; compatible with standard bolt patterns used in most rear compartments.

Compatibility & Vehicle Applications

The Stabilus Cylinder 0028dr Cargo is engineered to fit a broad spectrum of vehicles, including but not limited to:

• Rear cargo areas and tailgates on OPEL Vectra A, Vauxhall Cavalier Mk III, and related models.
• Boot compartments in Hyundai and other European manufacturers.
• Commercial vans and light trucks requiring robust tailgate support.

Its standardized dimensions and mounting geometry allow for seamless integration as a direct replacement or OEM upgrade across these platforms.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle’s rear compartment is clean and free of debris. Verify that the existing mounting points match the cylinder’s bolt pattern.
2. Mounting: Align the cylinder with the pre‑drilled holes. Secure using the supplied bolts, tightening to the manufacturer’s torque specification (typically 20 Nm).
3. Adjustment: Once mounted, gently lift the tailgate to allow the gas spring to extend fully. Verify that the tailgate remains level and does not sag under load.
4. Testing: Operate the tailgate several times to confirm smooth action and consistent force output. Check for any abnormal noises or resistance.

Performance Benefits

• Consistent Lift Force: The 540 N rating ensures that the tailgate remains stable even when fully loaded, reducing wear on hinges and seals.
• Durability: Corrosion‑resistant coating and high‑strength materials extend service life beyond typical aftermarket alternatives.
• Ease of Installation: Standardized mounting points mean minimal modification to the vehicle’s existing structure.
• Versatility: Suitable for both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, making it a cost‑effective solution across fleets.
