What This Gas Spring Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support on the EuroVan hatch, lid, or access panel
• Loss of holding force when the panel no longer stays open securely
• Slow, uneven, or inconsistent opening and closing action
• Replacement for a worn OE-style gas strut with matching length and force

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the extended length, compressed length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the original support to the Stabilus 3B-2417BT to confirm the correct EuroVan application, especially on 1997 and 1999-2004 Volkswagen EuroVan models where length is the key match point. Inspect the mounting balls or socket points for wear before installing the new gas spring.
