Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:5B-025469
Open the hood with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-0772VE, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control that measures 11.18 inches. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2010 BMW X3 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment), holding the hood up and helping counterbalance its weight when a worn strut can no longer hold it open.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold the hood evenly.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does this hood lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2010 BMW X3. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct application for your vehicle.
What does a hood lift support do?
This gas-charged strut helps counterbalance the hood's weight and holds it in the open position. It uses dynamic damping speed control for a smooth, fluid opening motion.
Should I replace both hood lift supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs so both sides hold the hood evenly and open with matched, controlled motion.
What are signs this lift support may need replacing?
A hood that drops, sags, or won't stay up on its own, or one that opens slowly or with bouncing, are common signs the gas struts have worn and may need replacement.
Are any special tools needed to install it?
No. Stabilus states this lift support is easy to install and requires no special tools. Always follow the vehicle service procedure for safe replacement.
