Will this Stove Lid Gas Strut Conversion Kit fit my Vanagon Westfalia Camper?

Yes, this kit is designed to work with all 1980-1991 Vanagon Westfalia Campers, including both 2WD and 4WD models, and covers both manual and automatic transmissions. The kit provides brackets and hardware tailored to early (1980-83) and late (1983-91) model years. You can easily determine your van's compatibility by checking the original prop location per the included instructions. If your Vanagon falls within these years, this conversion kit will fit.

How difficult is it to install the Stove Lid Gas Strut Conversion Kit, and what do I need?

The kit is designed for straightforward, DIY-friendly installation and comes with everything you need—stove lid bracket, 10mm ball stud mount, gas strut, clevis and ball ends for the strut, all necessary mounting hardware, and clear instructions specific to your Vanagon model year. Most owners find installation quick and manageable with basic household tools. No specialty equipment or permanent modifications are required, making this an easy way to modernize your Westy stove lid.

What are the benefits of upgrading to a gas strut system for my Vanagon stove lid?

Upgrading to the GoWesty Stove Lid Gas Strut Conversion Kit replaces the original prop mechanism, letting you enjoy effortless, hands-free use of your stove lid. The gas-assisted strut lets you open and close the lid with one hand, freeing up your other hand for cooking or organizing. It also prevents accidental slamming and keeps the lid open securely, making your camping kitchen more user-friendly and convenient while reducing wear and tear on your Westy.
