Hold your MINI's hood open with steady, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-4126XQ, a 22.72-inch gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2008 MINI Cooper (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment), giving you a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling. If a worn support is why your hood drifts down or no longer stays raised, this replaces it.

  • Dynamic damping speed control: Stabilus Lift-O-Mat uses a longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston, with extension speed and damping engineered for this application.
  • Gentle, controlled stop: The groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a smooth stop with minimal impact.
  • Corrosion resistance: Part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
  • Based on the OE design: Built to the original design for proper fit, form, and function, and easy to install with no special tools.

For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold with matched, consistent motion.
