FBM_13_2_Car_Multitool – User Manual

The tailgate prop & multi-tool from 040 Parts is an extra-long prop that ensures better air circulation inside the vehicle, making it ideal for ventilated overnight stays in your camper. Installation is tool-free and takes just a few simple steps: First, the curved end of the prop is threaded into the tailgate lock. Then carefully close the tailgate until it reaches the prop and insert the eyelet of the prop into the locking cylinder. After that, lock the car as usual so that the tailgate stays fixed in a defined slightly-open position, allowing fresh air to flow into the vehicle. The prop also doubles as a multi-tool.

According to the instructions, this accessory fits the VW T6 and VW T5 in the California, Beach, Team, and Comfortline equipment variants, as well as the Golf V Variant from model year 2009 onwards. The tailgate prop can also be used on vehicles with a soft-close assist, such as the T5 California Comfortline. The label "Designed in the City – Used in Adventures" underscores its use between everyday life and camping adventures.
