Common Uses

  • Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds the panel open
  • Slow, uneven, or abrupt opening of the trunk or hatch
  • Loss of support force in cold weather
  • Replacement for a gas spring with matching length and socket-style ends
  • Restoring controlled movement on BMW rear access panels

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket attachment style before installation. Compare the original gas spring to the Stabilus 4B-032963 to confirm rod diameter, tube diameter, and end fittings match the vehicle. Support the panel securely during replacement and transfer any mounting clips or retainers only if they are part of the original vehicle setup.
