Description

Raise the hood and hold it steady with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-578873, a gas-charged strut with dynamic damping speed control that supports the hood as it opens and holds it in the raised position. This 11.59-inch Lift-O-Mat unit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed Porsche applications, including the 2012-2025 718 Boxster, 2012-2019 911, 2013-2016 Boxster, 2014-2016 Cayman, 2017-2025 718 Boxster, 2017-2025 718 Cayman, and 2020-2024 718 Spyder — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
Velocity manifold groove: a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall routes gas around the piston, and the profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
Corrosion-tested coatings: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
Based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function, and easy to install with no special tools.

For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold consistently.
