Product Details

Part number 51248190688 is a direct-fit back glass lift support engineered to restore the original opening and holding action of the rear glass. It uses maintenance-free gas strut construction and OE-style end fittings to match the factory mounting points on compatible BMW hatch and rear glass assemblies. This part cross-references Stabilus (e.g., 5B-4043KY) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Solve

• Rear glass that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or uneven lift assistance when opening the back glass
• Slow, stiff, or inconsistent rear glass movement
• Oil seepage or gas loss from an aging lift support
• Wear at the rod, seals, or mounting ends

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year and model before installation. The OE-style end fittings are intended to simplify replacement on the BMW 525i, 528i, and 540i applications listed above. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear before installing the new support.
