Brand new set of hincha gas struts, they are direct upgraded replacements for the California beach and are 600n and enable you to have a roof box or roof rack with 50kg and hold it up without it coming down.

I brought to go with a front runner rack I had ordered for my 6.1 California beach but have cancelled my new California order due to delays and issues with vw.

they came from Belgium and work perfectly on the California beach as another beach owner has installed a set after with a front runner rack after I recommended them.

paid £150 with shipping and vat and customs just looking to get money back.

I purchased the 2nd hand pair from @Jdorling . They are great and keep the roof open with 3 x solar panels, surfboards etc; The roof is still very easy to close with loads removed.

You can get them new from manufacturer:


(Price is per strut, so 2 required)

Fitting:
