Hold the hood of your 2008-2012 Buick Enclave open with a controlled, fluid motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-253106. This gas-charged Lift-O-Mat unit measures 25.28 inches and uses dynamic damping speed control to raise and steady the hood without bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Dynamic damping speed control: a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, creating a smooth opening motion tuned for this application.
- Gentle, controlled stop: the groove profile gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke for a soft finish with minimal impact.
- Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
- Easy installation: based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function; installs with no special tools. For best results, replace in pairs.
A worn or leaking support that drifts down or no longer holds the hood up is a sign this part may need replacing.
