Product Details

Stabilus 3C-158251 is an OE-style gas spring/lift support for Mercedes-Benz GLA hatch and power liftgate applications. The compact body and matched stroke length help restore controlled liftgate movement, while the plastic socket ends support the factory-style attachment points used on the listed vehicles.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Liftgate drops too quickly when opened
• Rear hatch no longer stays raised
• Weak or uneven liftgate support
• Binding or inconsistent hatch movement
• Need for a direct replacement on a Mercedes-Benz GLA power liftgate

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s liftgate configuration and side before ordering. Match the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings to the original support. Inspect the mounting points for wear or damage before installation, and replace the support if the hatch no longer opens or holds position correctly.
