What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds the hatch in position
• Slow or uneven hatch movement during opening and closing
• Loss of support force caused by worn internal gas pressure
• Difficulty keeping the rear liftgate open on a Mini Cooper Clubman

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing strut length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the old unit to Stabilus 5B-691459 to confirm the compressed length, extended length, and rod/tube connection style match your Mini Cooper Clubman application. Install one side at a time when replacing a lift support so the hatch remains controlled during service.
