Get a smooth, controlled hood opening with the Stabilus hood lift support 4B-245219, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control designed to raise the hood and hold it open while you work. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2009 Pontiac Solstice and the 2007-2010 Saturn Sky. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full application list.
- Dynamic damping speed control: Produces a fluid opening motion, designed to avoid bouncing or jerking as the hood cycles.
- Corrosion-resistant coatings: The part's coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
- OE-based design: Based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function.
- Simple installation: Easy to install, with no special tools required.
This support is part of the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat line with dynamic damping. A longitudinal groove called a velocity manifold is pressed into the tube wall. It lets gas flow around the piston, and the extension speed and damping are engineered for this application. The groove gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke, which gives a gentle, controlled stop with minimal impact. Stabilus lists this support at 19.19 inches. For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing hood lift supports in pairs.
A hood lift support may need replacing if the hood won't stay open on its own, slowly drifts down, or takes more effort to lift than it should.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Stabilus 4B-245219 fit?
It is listed for the 2006-2009 Pontiac Solstice and the 2007-2010 Saturn Sky. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the complete application list.
What does dynamic damping do on this lift support?
A velocity-manifold groove in the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston to control extension speed. The groove narrows near the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
Should I replace hood lift supports in pairs?
Yes. Stabilus recommends replacing hood lift supports in pairs for best results.
Do I need special tools to install it?
No. Stabilus states that this lift support is easy to install and requires no special tools.
How do I know my hood lift support may need replacing?
Signs include a hood that won't stay open on its own, slowly drifts down, or needs extra effort to lift. Check the cause before you replace the support.
