Description

Keep your MINI's rear hatch rising smoothly and staying put with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 5B-348944, a 15.24-inch gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2012 and 2014 MINI Cooper — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. When a worn strut lets your liftgate drift down or slam, this Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus restores controlled, refined motion.

Dynamic damping speed control: a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall routes gas around the piston for a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
Gentle, controlled stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke to ease the liftgate to a soft stop with minimal impact.
Corrosion-resistant: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form and function; easy to install with no special tools.

For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides raise and hold evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does this lift support fit?

It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2012 and 2014 MINI Cooper. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.

What does the dynamic damping do?

A velocity-manifold groove in the tube wall controls gas flow around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle, controlled stop at the end of the stroke.

Should I replace both lift supports at once?

For best results, replace them in pairs. When one is worn, the other is usually near the end of its life, so replacing both keeps the liftgate raising and holding evenly.

What are signs this lift support may need replacing?

A liftgate that drifts down on its own, won't stay up, opens slowly, or drops abruptly are common signs a gas lift support has lost pressure and may need replacement.

Are special tools required to install it?

No. This lift support is based on the OE design and is easy to install with no special tools. Consult your vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
