Detailed Description

Febi 30879 is a rear hood lift support for Mercedes-Benz vehicles that use the specified OE-style mounting and force requirements. It is listed for both left and right fitting positions and is matched to rear hood applications on 2010-2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS, E-Class, and C-Class models. If you are searching for a Mercedes-Benz rear hood lift support 30879, this part number helps narrow the exact application quickly.

The febi product line focuses on replacement parts built to match original dimensions and installation points, and this unit follows that approach with its defined attachment diameter, housing size, stroke length, and extension force. That makes it a practical choice when replacing a worn hood strut on a Mercedes-Benz E350 rear hood, Mercedes-Benz E550 rear hood, or Mercedes-Benz CLS550 rear hood application.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 204 880 00 29 and 207 980 05 64 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Weak or failing rear hood support that no longer holds the hood open properly
• Slow, uneven, or heavy hood movement during opening and closing
• Loss of lift force caused by age, wear, or pressure loss in the strut
• Need for an OE-style replacement on a Mercedes-Benz CLS, E-Class, or C-Class rear hood
• Noise or instability from a worn hood lift support at the rear mounting points

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear position, left or right side, and compare the mounting diameter, housing length, and overall extended length before installation. Match the part number 30879 to the vehicle application and confirm the hood support orientation on the existing unit. For best results, replace a worn support when the hood begins to drop, requires extra effort to open, or no longer stays in position.
