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 "Vehicles it fits" section 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.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold and open evenly.

A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, so the lid opens with a fluid motion and no bouncing or jerking, ending in a gentle, controlled stop.
