Hold the rear glass open smoothly and keep it from drifting shut with the Stabilus Back Glass Lift Support 4B-1036VW, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 BMW X5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. This Lift-O-Mat unit measures 20.83 inches and supports the raised rear glass while providing controlled, cushioned motion through the open-and-close cycle.
Signs the original may need replacing include glass that no longer stays up, drops on its own, or opens with a jerky or bouncing motion. For best results, replace in pairs.

What vehicle does the Stabilus 4B-1036VW fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement back glass lift support for the 2000-2006 BMW X5. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your specific vehicle.
What does this lift support do?
It is a gas-charged strut that supports the raised rear glass and provides controlled, damped motion, helping the glass open smoothly and stay up instead of drifting shut.
What is dynamic damping speed control?
A velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle, controlled stop at the end of the stroke.
How long is this lift support?
This Stabilus Lift-O-Mat unit measures 20.83 inches.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing in pairs for best results, so both sides open and hold the glass with matched, balanced motion.
