Fitment Details

Compatible with 2008-2012 Mini Cooper and 2014 Mini Cooper. Use this Stabilus 5B-348944 gas spring when replacing a worn lift support on the Mini Cooper hatch, rear glass, or other supported panel application that matches the listed dimensions and attachment style.

What It Helps Fix

  • Weak or slow-opening lift supports
  • Hatch, glass, or panel that will not stay open
  • Dropping or uneven opening motion
  • Loss of damping from age, wear, or gas pressure loss
  • Noise or binding caused by a failing support

Installation Notes

Verify compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the original support to part number 5B-348944 to confirm the rod and tube connection style matches your vehicle. Replace only with the correct application-specific support for proper opening force and alignment.
