Raise the hatch with a smooth, controlled motion and hold it open using the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-545879. This gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2013 Kia Soul, and it measures 17.85 inches. Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat design 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, and the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
For best results, replace the lift supports in pairs so both sides raise and hold evenly.
