Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support P/N:4B-197439
Hold your trunk lid open smoothly and keep it from dropping with the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 4B-908472 (also written 4B908472). This gas-charged lift support uses Stabilus Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping to control opening speed, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2019 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, 2013-2019 SL500, 2013-2019 SL63 AMG, 2013-2020 SL550, 2015-2016 SL400, and 2017-2020 SL450 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details on the listed applications.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold and cycle evenly. If a worn, weak, or leaking lift support is why your trunk lid drifts down or won't stay up, this Stabilus unit replaces it.
