Hi Guys, Chris here from USP Motorsports. Today, we're going to be doing an install
on our MK5 Rabbit. We're going to be doing the automatic Hatch Pop Kit. It consists of
a few parts that you're going to be changing out. It's going to be the shock absorber,
the shock peg, and also the bump stop. For the tools we're going to be using it's going
to be simply a flat head screw driver, small one preferably, a 24mm socket or wrench, you're
going to need a 3mm allen wrench, and also a 13mm socket or wrench. At the end of the
video we're going to be showing you some light VAG-COM programming that's needed. So we'll
go ahead and start with the install. Alright we're going to be starting our install here
by just taking off the shock with a flat head screwdriver. Just popping the clip off. Lifting
up the hatch. Pulling down on the shock. Now the hatch itself will want to fall with one
shock so you could have a buddy hold the hatch up, or you can just take a vice grip and go
ahead and put it onto the other shock here to help you hold it up. Same step below which
is going to consist of prying this clip off. Then pulling off the shock. We're going to
go ahead and set the factory shock off to the side. Next step we're going to do is taking
the factory shock peg off which consists of just a 13mm like I said earlier you can use
a wrench or a socket. Either one will work. We'll go ahead and install the one provided
in the kit which if you notice is a lot shorter than the factory one. Next as well, same exact
socket, 13mm. So we'll go ahead and snug that in there. Once we have our shock peg installed
that comes with the kit we're going to go ahead and pop the bottom one in first. Simply
pop in the top one. On the the next part of the install is going to be our bump stop.
Which is nothing more than a 24mm socket or wrench will work with this. And it's a very
simple half turn to the left. And that lets it pop out. If you note, the bump stop factory,
and the one that comes in the USP Motorsports kit is a little bit taller. We're going to
go ahead and put that in. Same 24mm wrench one quarter turn. Locks in simply like that.
We're going to go ahead and repeat the same process on the passenger side. Now we have
all the parts installed, we're going to go through the quick adjustment process. We're
going to go ahead and loosen our bump stops all the way to the left so they're nice and
loose. Do that on both side. This allows them to move freely wherever they want. Okay. Now
we're going to go ahead and close the hatch manually. Okay. Then we're going to open it.
More than likely the bump stops will be close to bottomed out. This is where our screw driver
comes in handy again. There's a slot in the bump stop cut out for it. We're going to go
ahead and click that out two turns each side. It's not so much a turn, but it's a little
clicking noise that the bump stops will make. Once that is done, go ahead and put your 3mm
allen in the middle. Tighten them up snug. Not too tight. Alright so now after this step.
We adjusted them. They look like they're both even. They're both popped out about two clicks
or so. We're going to go on to the step of our light VAG-COM work. It's as simple as
checking a box in VAG-COM. It takes no more than about two minutes. After we're done with
that we're going to come back. We're going to close our hatch, take our remote control,
we're going to click our trunk pop. See if it opens the correct way.
