Open and hold your hatch smoothly with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-689763, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2015 MINI Cooper (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details), and measures 17.16 inches. This is a Lift-O-Mat unit by Stabilus, which uses a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold — pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application.
Signs your original lift support may need replacing include a hatch that drifts down, opens slowly, or won't stay up on its own. For balanced operation, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs.

What is Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping?
It uses a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston, giving a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle, controlled stop.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs for balanced, consistent operation on both sides.
How do I know my lift support has failed?
