Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:5B-8066BB
Keep the rear hatch rising smoothly and holding open with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 5B-463425, a gas-charged strut with dynamic damping speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2015 Scion iQ; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. This Lift-O-Mat unit measures 13.29 inches and uses a longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall, letting gas flow around the piston at an extension speed tuned for this application.
Lift supports work in pairs, so for best results replace both sides together.
