Hold the hood open with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-258638. This gas-charged lift support drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2008 Toyota Solara, measuring 27.34 inches and built on Stabilus's Lift-O-Mat design with dynamic damping speed control. A longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, tuning extension speed and damping for this application; the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
Based on the OE design: engineered to match proper fit, form, and function.
Easy to install: requires no special tools.
Lift supports wear as a pair, so signs one may need replacing — a hood that drifts down, opens slowly, or won't stay up — often show on both sides. For best results, replace in pairs.
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2008 Toyota Solara. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
