Open and hold your trunk lid with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 5B-868565 (also written 5B868565). This 14.57-inch, gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2017 Volkswagen Passat — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
- Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus: a longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, with extension speed and damping engineered for this application; the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
- Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
- Based on the OE design to ensure proper fit, form, and function; easy to install with no special tools.
For best results, replace in pairs. If a worn or leaking original lift support is why your trunk lid drops or won't stay up, this is the replacement.
