Lift and steady your trunk lid with the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 4B-8558BQ, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support measuring 16.38 inches. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet and 1980-1984 Volkswagen Rabbit — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

  • Patented Labyrinth Piston: delivers clog-free, smooth operation as the lid opens and closes.
  • Clog-free design: helps prevent binding caused by contamination.
  • Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
  • Easy installation: based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function, and requires no special tools.

This Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus uses hydraulic damping with an innovative oil-channeling system and the patented labyrinth piston to provide controlled, refined motion. Each unit is tuned for its application with customized oil viscosities and piston configurations, built with high-grade materials and a proprietary seal-guide system for durable, reliable operation. For best results, replace the supports in pairs so both sides raise and hold the lid evenly.
