Open and hold your trunk with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 6B-024477, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support that measures 7.70 inches. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2004 Porsche Boxster — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for full engine coverage.
Part of the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat line, this unit uses hydraulic damping with an oil-channeling system tuned to this application's oil viscosity and piston configuration for refined, controlled movement.
- Patented Labyrinth Piston: delivers clog-free, smooth operation through opening and closing.
- Clog-free design: helps prevent binding caused by contamination.
- Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
- Easy installation: requires no special tools; based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function.
Signs the original support may need replacing include a trunk lid that drifts down, won't stay raised, or opens slowly. For best results, replace supports in pairs so both sides hold evenly.
