Description

When your cab’s sunroof won’t stay open or slams shut unexpectedly, you know it’s time for a replacement. Nothing’s worse than fighting with a heavy sunroof hatch when you need ventilation during dusty field work or trying to prop it open with whatever’s handy in the cab. This gas strut gets that sunroof working like it should, giving you the airflow and comfort you need on those long summer days.

What You’re Getting

Nitrogen gas charge that maintains steady pressure from cold mornings to blazing afternoons
Sealed cylinder design that won’t leak like cheaper knock-offs
Chrome-plated rod that resists corrosion from cab condensation and weather
200N force rating that’s calibrated exactly for your Deutz roof weight
240mm extended length for proper sunroof travel and support

Where This Part Shines

Whether you’re running a Deutz DX80 utility tractor for smaller farm tasks or operating a DX250 for heavy field work, this strut keeps your cab comfortable when the heat builds up. The sunroof isn’t just about comfort either – it serves as an emergency exit and gives you that overhead view you need when loading or working around bins and buildings.

Built to Handle Farm Life

Farm cabs take a beating with constant vibration, temperature swings, and dust. This strut’s sealed construction keeps contaminants out while the quality seals prevent the gradual pressure loss that causes most strut failures. The chrome-plated rod stays smooth even after years of operation, so you won’t get that jerky movement that makes opening the roof a wrestling match.

Installation Notes

Replace both struts at the same time since they wear at similar rates, and mismatched struts cause uneven lifting that can damage your sunroof mechanism. Clean the mounting points before installing the new strut and check for bent brackets. A quick tip – a drop of silicone spray on the rod extends seal life, but avoid petroleum-based sprays that’ll damage the seals.
