The Stabilus 5B-868565 is an OE-style gas spring built for controlled lift and support on select Volkswagen Passat applications.

Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is engineered around the listed dimensions and attachment style to match the original support geometry on the vehicle. It is listed for 2012-2016 Volkswagen Passat and for 2017 Volkswagen Passat built through 02/06/2017, making it a direct-reference replacement for the specified applications. The Stabilus 5B-868565 is also cross-referenced to AMS Automotive 6807 for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Resolve

  • Liftgate, hatch, or panel that no longer stays open
  • Slow or uneven opening action
  • Weak support force compared with the original gas strut
  • Drooping or hard-to-hold access panels
  • Noise or inconsistent movement from a worn support strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the existing support to the listed dimensions on your Volkswagen Passat to confirm the correct application, especially on the 2017 model with the 02/06/2017 cutoff. Replace only with the correct orientation and ensure both attachment points are fully seated before testing operation.
