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.
Dynamic damping speed control: a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston for a fluid, controlled opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
Gentle stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a controlled, low-impact stop.
Corrosion-tested coatings: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
OE-based design: based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function; measures 16.32 inches and installs easily with no special tools.
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.
