Keep the tailgate of your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas rising smoothly and holding open with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-279909 (also written 3B279909). This gas-charged lift support measures 23.25 in and uses Stabilus Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping to control the opening motion of the rear liftgate.

  • Dynamic damping speed control: a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston at a tuned extension speed 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 stop with minimal impact.
  • Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
  • Based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function; easy to install and requires no special tools.

Lift supports weaken over time — a hatch that drifts down, opens slowly, or won't stay up are common signs a support may need replacing. For balanced, even operation Stabilus recommends replacing in pairs.
