Tuff Support Interior Storage Compartment Lid Lift Support P/N:614190
Keep the convertible top stowage compartment lid steady and hold it open where you set it with the Tuff Support Convertible Top Stowage Compartment Lid Strut (P/N 614156). It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK320, 2003 CLK430, 2003-2009 CLK500, 2003-2006 CLK55 AMG, 2007-2009 CLK280, 2006-2009 CLK350, 2007-2009 CLK550, and 2007-2009 CLK63 AMG. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list.
Over time a strut can lose its ability to hold, letting the lid drift down, feel weak, or refuse to stay up. If a worn or failed strut is the cause of a lid that won't stay open on your CLK, this replaces it. Struts often work as a pair, so inspect both and replace them together for balanced, even support if your vehicle uses two.
What does this strut do?
It helps raise and hold the convertible top stowage compartment lid in the open position and dampens its motion so it opens and closes smoothly.
Which vehicles does it fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for Mercedes-Benz CLK280, CLK320, CLK350, CLK430, CLK500, CLK55 AMG, CLK550, and CLK63 AMG. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the exact years.
How do I know my strut is worn out?
Signs a strut may need replacing include a lid that won't stay open, drifts down on its own, or feels weak when raised.
Should I replace both struts at once?
If your vehicle uses two, it's best to inspect and replace them together as a pair for balanced, even support of the lid.
Is this a direct-fit part?
Yes, it's made to install on the listed Mercedes-Benz CLK applications shown in the Buyer's Guide tab.
