I’ve got a VW bike carrier on a standard tailgate (not California) and my struts are 1200N.

I would be interested in the 1080N ones please if they are still available. Obviously only if @Sackmycook doesnt take them as he said first!

Apologies - it will be this afternoon when I get to the van! (I’m in the hospital for a couple of hours getting topped up with my drugs! Living the dream, eh?!!)

Remember, that has bike rack, deck chairs concealed in tailgate and a rear screen. If I recall correctly, when I got the bike rack the instructions asked that struts are upgraded to 1200N, but the Cali had them anyway. Another thought, (as I remember my install,) was that the rack also came with a replacement “bump stop” for the boot pillar that the tailgate closes against. I’m assuming it was a harder compound
