Why Choose the Metzger 2110200?

The Metzger 2110200 Gas Spring stands out for several reasons:

2. Long Service Life: With a robust steel construction and protective coating, it resists rust, corrosion, and fatigue for thousands of cycles.
3. Easy Installation: Designed to fit standard mounting points, the spring can be swapped out in minutes without special tools.
4. Versatile Compatibility: The part is available under many names—Gasfeder, Molletta a Gas, Vérin de coffre, and others—making it easy to find the exact variant for your vehicle.
5. Improved Safety: By keeping the trunk or hatch level, the spring reduces the risk of accidental opening while driving.

Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install the Metzger 2110200 Gas Spring correctly and safely:

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Disconnect the battery if you are working near electrical components.
2. Remove Old Spring: Loosen the mounting bolts or release the snap‑fit mechanism holding the old gas spring in place. Carefully detach it, noting its orientation for proper reinstallation.
3. Position New Spring: Align the new spring with the mounting points. If using a threaded version, tighten the bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specification (typically 10–15 Nm).
4. Check Alignment: Verify that the trunk or hatch opens and closes smoothly without binding. The gas spring should provide a gentle lift as you open it.
5. Test Functionality: Open and close the cargo area several times to ensure consistent performance. Listen for any unusual noises; if present, recheck bolt tightness.

Maintenance Tips

Although the Metzger 2110200 Gas Spring is designed for low maintenance, a few simple checks can extend its life:

• Inspect the mounting bolts every six months for tightness.
• Clean the spring’s exterior with mild soap and water to remove dirt or debris that could impede movement.
• Avoid exposing the spring to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods; if you live in a very hot climate, consider a protective cover.
