Raise your hood with a smooth, controlled motion and hold it steady with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support (P/N 2B-086531). This 30.67-inch gas-charged lift support uses Stabilus Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping — a velocity manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston at an extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2015-2021 Volkswagen Golf and GTI, 2015-2020 Volkswagen e-Golf, 2017-2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, and 2015-2019 Volkswagen Golf R and Golf SportWagen. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details and the full application list.

  • Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
  • Gentle, controlled stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a soft finish with minimal impact.
  • Corrosion-tested coatings: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
  • Based on the OE design: built to ensure proper fit, form, and function, and easy to install with no special tools.

For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold the hood evenly.
