Raise and hold your hood with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-1041VO. This gas-charged Lift-O-Mat support delivers dynamic damping speed control for a fluid opening motion, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 BMW X5. Measuring 11.38 inches, it uses a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned to this application, and the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
For best results, replace in pairs so both sides support the hood evenly. Signs a lift support may need replacing include a hood that drifts down, feels weak, or won't stay up on its own.

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 2000-2006 BMW X5. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your specific vehicle.
How long is this lift support?
It measures 11.38 inches. This is a gas-charged Lift-O-Mat support with dynamic damping speed control for a fluid opening motion.
Should I replace both lift supports at the same time?
For best results, replace them in pairs. Installing both sides together helps the hood open and hold evenly.
What is dynamic damping?
A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston with tuned extension speed, narrowing toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop with no bouncing or jerking.
What are signs this lift support may need replacing?
Common signs include a hood that drifts down, feels weak, or won't stay up on its own. Diagnose the cause before replacing to confirm the support is at fault.
