Metzger 2110474 Gas Spring, Boot

Metzger 2110474 Gas Spring – The Backbone of Your Vehicle’s Cargo Area

The Metzger 2110474 Gas Spring is a precision‑engineered component designed to provide smooth, reliable support for the cargo area (boot) of your vehicle. Whether you’re lifting the rear hatch of a compact car or managing heavy loads in a light commercial van, this gas spring delivers consistent performance and durability.

Key Functional Characteristics

• High‑Pressure Gas Cylinder: The core of the device is a sealed cylinder filled with high‑pressure nitrogen. This gas expands and contracts to generate the lifting force required for opening and closing the hatch.
• Spring Mechanism: A coiled steel spring works in tandem with the gas to maintain tension, ensuring that the hatch stays at any desired angle without manual support.
• Compact Design: With a length of approximately 483 mm, it fits seamlessly into the rear chassis of vehicles such as the Hyundai Getz, providing ample clearance for both the hatch and cargo space.
• Corrosion‑Resistant Construction: The outer housing is fabricated from high‑strength steel treated with anti‑rust coatings, guaranteeing longevity even in harsh environmental conditions.

Installation Compatibility

The Metzger 2110474 Gas Spring is engineered specifically for the rear hatch of the Hyundai Getz, but its design allows it to be adapted to a range of similar vehicles. It comes with:

• Standard Mounting Brackets: These brackets align perfectly with the factory mounting points, eliminating the need for extensive modifications.
• Pre‑Drilled Holes: The spring’s attachment points are pre‑drilled to match the vehicle’s chassis, ensuring a secure fit and reducing installation time.

Performance Benefits

• Consistent Lifting Force: Unlike mechanical hinges that can become stiff over time, the gas spring maintains a steady lift throughout its lifespan.
• Reduced Wear on Hinges: By absorbing most of the load, the spring reduces friction and wear on the hatch’s hinge assembly.
• Enhanced Safety: The controlled opening and closing action prevents sudden movements that could damage cargo or injure occupants.

Maintenance Guidelines

To preserve optimal performance, follow these simple steps during routine checks:

1. Visual Inspection: Look for any signs of corrosion, dents, or leaks in the housing and mounting brackets.
2. Check Gas Pressure: If you notice a sluggish lift, it may indicate a loss of gas pressure. A professional service can restore the correct pressure level.
3. Tighten Fasteners: Periodically verify that all bolts and screws remain snug to prevent loosening due to vibration.
