Usually there is a Part Number stamped or painted on.
Not to my knowledge, but I have read somewhere of someone using wooden slats from Ikea .
i have spare bed slats, changed all mine for foli springs.
they are surplus so yes, can you collect or do they need posting.pm me
Do you still have any of the original wooden bed slats as need to replace a few of mine soon?
Old post I know but the above-mentioned gas struts are the external ones fitted to the manual roof of a VW California Beach / Coast and not the internal ones that support the VW California bed. The part number for the bed gas struts is 7H7067081
Hi, are they easy to replace, please? (Meaning the internal roof struts). One of ours seems to be leaking an oily substance and moans when we're raising/lowering the bed.
Yes the ends are both ball joints and just snap off. You have to raise the roof and It’s a bit tricky doing the bed end as there’s not much room for leverage against the bellows but I used a pry tool like the one on the right
There is a metal spring clip on each ball end, if you get a small flat blade screw driver and push into the recess next to the clip and lever the clip up, it will raise up and hold in an unlatched position can get just be removed without having to pry it off.

VW Dealer - Part still available as it is the same on T6 etc.
If mounted correctly rod down (which I assume you have never changed) then they shouldn't need or benefit from extra oil, we have had them be noisy sometimes heat related, but seemed to end in failure.
