Hold your tailgate glass open smoothly and keep it from dropping with the Stabilus Back Glass Lift Support 4B-028710, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support that measures 16.85 inches. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1991-2001 Ford Explorer, 2001-2002 Ford Explorer Sport, 1991-1994 Mazda Navajo, and 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage.
Weak lift supports that let the glass sag, drift down, or feel hard to hold open are signs this part may need replacing. Because both sides age together, Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs for even, balanced support.

How long is this lift support?
This lift support measures 16.85 inches, matching the OE design for proper fit, form, and function on the listed applications.
