Keep the rear hatch rising smoothly and holding open with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-452693, a gas-charged lift support that measures 26.65 inches. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific applications), reviving a tired strut that no longer holds the liftgate up or opens with control.

  • Dynamic damping speed control: gas flow is managed by a groove pressed into the tube wall for a fluid opening motion, designed to reduce bouncing and jerking.
  • Integrated lift assist: an internal mechanical compression spring compresses in the closed position to give an added boost during initial opening, helping release the application off the latch.
  • Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
  • Easy installation: based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function, and installs with no special tools.

This is a Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus, using a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove that gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold evenly.
