Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:3B-029147
Keep the rear liftgate rising smoothly and holding steady with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-519830, a gas-charged strut with dynamic speed control that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2014 Porsche Panamera (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). Measuring 25.34 inches, this is Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat unit, which uses a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold pressed into the tube wall — that lets gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this application, so the gate opens fluidly and stops gently at the end of its stroke.
A lift support that no longer holds the gate up, drifts closed, or opens with a hard bang may be a sign the strut needs replacing. For best results, replace in pairs.
