Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support P/N:4B-197439
Raise your trunk with a smooth, fluid motion using the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 4B-227807, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control that measures 19.25 inches. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2018 Volkswagen Jetta — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine coverage.
This is a Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus, using a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall (a velocity manifold) that lets gas flow around the piston, with extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application. The groove profile gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does this lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2018 Volkswagen Jetta. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
What is dynamic damping speed control?
A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, controlling extension speed. The groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, replace in pairs. Both supports typically wear at a similar rate, so replacing them together helps keep the trunk lid opening evenly.
Do I need special tools to install it?
No. This lift support is easy to install and requires no special tools. Consult your vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
What are signs this lift support may need replacing?
Common signs include a trunk lid that drops, won't stay open, opens slowly, or feels weak. These may indicate a worn gas lift support that should be replaced.
