Detailed Description
The StrongArm 6616 is a rear window glass lift support built for BMW X5 models from 2000 through 2006. It is engineered as a specific-fit replacement with matching ball socket end fittings and dimensions that align with the original rear glass support application. The pressurized cylinder design helps maintain consistent lift and controlled support for the back glass on the BMW X5, while the steel outer cylinder and internal sealing materials are selected for durable operation.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The StrongArm 6616 is also referenced under AMS Automotive 6616 and OE-style interchange numbers including 51 24 8 402 405 and D6616.
What It Helps Address
- Rear glass that will not stay open on a BMW X5
- Slow or weak lift action at the back window
- Uneven or inconsistent support when opening the rear glass
- Loss of controlled movement in the hatch glass area
- Wear-related replacement needs on the BMW X5 rear glass support
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and 10 mm ball socket ends before installation on your BMW X5. For proper rear glass support and balanced operation, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the vehicle. Confirm the vehicle year range and rear glass application before ordering the StrongArm 6616.
Quality Assurance
StrongArm states that each lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. The 6616 is built as a specific-fit replacement for 2000-2006 BMW X5 rear glass applications.
