Hold your engine bay open with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-8541UI. This gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control is a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2013 Porsche 911, 2005-2012 Porsche Boxster, and 2006-2012 Porsche Cayman (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine specifics). It measures 9.45 inches and uses Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat design to raise and hold the hood without bouncing or jerking.

  • Dynamic damping speed control: a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston for a fluid opening motion, with the groove narrowing toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
  • Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
  • Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function.
  • Easy to install and requires no special tools.

For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold and cycle evenly. When a worn support can no longer hold the hood up or drifts closed, this replaces it.
