Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:2B-033948
Hold your hood open with a firm, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 2B-024208, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control and a 28.07-inch length. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2011 SEAT A4, 2002-2009 Audi A4, 2002-2009 Audi A4 Quattro, 2007-2008 Audi RS4, 2004-2009 Audi S4, and 2011 SEAT Exeo — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Built on Stabilus Lift-O-Mat technology, this strut uses a longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with damping tuned for this application; the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.
