If your vehicle's hatch is heavy, sagging, or wont stay up, it may be failing lift gate struts. In this video we are dropping the headliner and replacing the hatch struts on a 2006 VW Touareg I just picked up. This repair likely applies to other VAG SUVs Porsche Cayenne #diy #humblemechanic #youtube
