Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:3B-8542UD
Hold your hood open steadily and take the strain out of every under-hood job with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-456737, a gas-charged lift support for the LEFT position measuring 23.23 inches. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz GL320, 2010-2012 GL350, 2008-2012 GL450, 2008-2012 GL500, and 2008-2012 GL550 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details).
This is Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat with dynamic damping, which uses a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold — pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application. The groove profile narrows gradually toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.

What vehicles does this hood lift support fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz GL320, 2010-2012 GL350, and the 2008-2012 GL450, GL500, and GL550. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Which side does this lift support mount on?
This unit is cataloged for the LEFT position. It measures 23.23 inches. For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs.
What does the dynamic damping do?
A longitudinal velocity-manifold groove lets gas flow around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle, controlled stop as the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke.
How can I tell if my hood lift support needs replacing?
Signs it may need replacing include a hood that no longer stays up, drifts down on its own, opens slowly, or feels jerky. If a worn lift support is the cause, this replaces it.
Are any special tools required to install it?
No. It's based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function and installs without special tools. Consult your vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
