Keep the rear hatch propped open and off your head with the Tuff Support Liftgate Lift Support 613495. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2009 SAAB 9-5, taking over for a worn or sagging original support so the liftgate rises and holds where you leave it.
A liftgate lift support carries the weight of the raised rear glass/hatch, controlling its motion as it opens and holding it steady while you load and unload. When the original weakens, the gate can drift down, feel heavy, or refuse to stay up on its own.
- Fit: Direct-fit replacement for the listed 1999-2009 SAAB 9-5 application.
- Function: Supports and controls the liftgate as it opens, holding it in the raised position.
- Replacement: Swaps in for a tired original that no longer holds the hatch up.
Signs this part may need replacing include a liftgate that slowly sinks, opens sluggishly, or won't stay raised without being held. Lift supports commonly work as a left/right pair — if one side has weakened, replacing both together helps restore even, balanced lift.
Manufacturer part number 613495.
