Keep your Volkswagen's hood raised smoothly and hold it open with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-370004, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2017 Volkswagen CC and 2009-2012 Volkswagen Passat CC — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment. This 27.26-inch Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus uses a longitudinal groove (a velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this application.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs. Signs a lift support may need replacing include a hood that drifts down, feels weak, or no longer holds itself open.

What vehicles does the Stabilus 3B-370004 fit?
It's a direct-fit hood lift support for the 2009-2017 Volkswagen CC and 2009-2012 Volkswagen Passat CC. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm the fit for your vehicle.
What does dynamic damping speed control do?
A longitudinal 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?
The manufacturer lists this Lift-O-Mat hood lift support at 27.26 inches.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold with consistent, balanced force.
How do I know my hood lift support needs replacing?
Common signs include a hood that drifts down on its own, feels weak, or no longer stays open. Replacing this gas-charged unit addresses that if the original support is the cause.
