Raise the hood with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-8468UW, a 12.72-inch gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2008 Mercedes-Benz SL500, 2003-2007 SL55 AMG, 2007 SL550, 2003-2007 SL600 and 2005-2008 SL65 AMG. When a tired support won't hold the hood up or drifts and slams, this Lift-O-Mat unit restores steady, dependable lift.

  • Dynamic damping: a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall routes gas 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 tested to automotive standards.
  • OE-based design: built to match the original fit, form and function; easy to install with no special tools.

Lift supports work as a pair, so for best results replace both sides together.
