Detailed Description

Stabilus 4B-908472 is a gas spring engineered to match the dimensions and mounting style used on select Mercedes-Benz SL models. It cross-references Tuff Support 612583 and is listed for applications including 2017-2020 Mercedes-Benz SL450, 2013-2020 Mercedes-Benz SL550, 2013-2019 Mercedes-Benz SL500, 2015-2019 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG, 2012-2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz SL400, plus 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and SL65 AMG with or without Power Trunk Opening/Closing. This part number, 4B-908472, is also associated with OE-style Mercedes-Benz references such as 231 980 02 64 and 231 980 03 64.

What It Helps Solve

  • Weak or failing trunk support on Mercedes-Benz SL models
  • Slow, uneven, or incomplete lift action
  • Trunk lid that drops instead of staying open
  • Loss of controlled opening and closing movement
  • Noise or instability caused by worn gas struts

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify the existing strut length, end fittings, and force rating before installation.
  • Match the plastic socket connections to the vehicle mounting points.
  • Confirm fitment for your exact Mercedes-Benz SL year and trim, especially 2014 SL63 AMG and SL65 AMG models with or without Power Trunk Opening/Closing.
  • Replace gas struts in pairs when the opposite side shows similar wear, if applicable to the vehicle setup.
