Keep the rear hatch rising smoothly and holding open with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 5B-9365BE, a 10.08-inch hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1965-1998 Porsche 911, the 1965-1969 and 1976 Porsche 912, and the 1978-1979 Porsche 930 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
This is Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat design, which pairs gas pressure with hydraulic damping to raise, support, and control the movement of the liftgate. A worn or leaking strut is a common reason a hatch drops on its own, feels heavy, or won't stay up.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides raise and hold evenly.
