Open your trunk with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 4B-176631, a 19.25-inch gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. This Lift-O-Mat unit uses a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall (a velocity manifold) that lets gas flow around the piston, tuning extension speed and damping for this specific application.
- Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Controlled stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled finish.
- Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
- 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 hold and open evenly.
