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.
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.
