Detailed Description
Stabilus 5B-094923 is a convertible top cover strut engineered for the body roof area on 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette models with a tonneau cover. The strut’s 215 N force rating, compact compressed length, and plastic socket end connections support smooth cover movement and consistent positioning. If your Corvette tonneau cover is dropping, opening unevenly, or no longer staying supported as it should, this replacement strut restores the original-style function.
This part cross-references ACI 84065 and AMS Automotive 4065 for the same application. It is also referenced by part number 5B-094923 in Stabilus catalogs and appears in aftermarket interchange listings for the Corvette tonneau cover application.
What It Helps Address
- Tonneau cover that will not stay open
- Weak or slow cover lift action
- Uneven or inconsistent cover movement
- Strut loss of pressure from age or wear
- Noise or binding during cover operation
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the existing strut’s compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end connections before installation. Match the application to 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette, tonneau cover, and confirm the mounting points are clean and undamaged. Replace only with the correct orientation and ensure both attachment points seat fully.
