Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-9904VE

Hold your hood open smoothly and keep it from drifting down with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-9904VE, a 16.57-inch gas-charged strut with dynamic speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 Honda Accord — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details on the listed applications.

• Dynamic damping: Stabilus Lift-O-Mat uses a longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall, letting gas flow around the piston for a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
• Gentle stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a controlled, low-impact stop.
• Corrosion resistance: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
• Easy install: based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function, and requires no special tools.

A tired hood support that slowly sags, feels weak in the cold, or lets the hood fall may be worn out; if the lift support is the cause, this unit replaces it. For balanced hood movement, Stabilus recommends replacing supports in pairs where the hood uses more than one.
