Jaguar Hood Lift Support for OE-Style Function

This URO hood lift support restores steady hood assistance for select Jaguar models. It is built for direct replacement use on 1995-2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas, 1998-2003 Jaguar XJ8, 1995-2003 Jaguar XJR, 1995-1997 Jaguar XJ6, and 1995-1996 Jaguar XJ12 applications.

Part number BEC19809 is an OE-style hood strut replacement that helps return normal hood opening and holding action on the Jaguar XJ8 and related models. The design uses a high-pressure gas strut with metal housing and piston rod assemblies for durable, low-maintenance operation.

  • OE-style end fittings for straightforward DIY replacement
  • High-pressure gas strut restores original hood lift assistance
  • Metal housing and piston rod assemblies resist wear
  • Low-friction rod guides and oil seals support leak-free operation

Detailed Description

URO BEC19809 is a hood lift support made for Jaguar hood service where the original strut no longer holds the hood properly. It is engineered as an OE-style replacement with fitment for 1995-2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas, 1998-2003 Jaguar XJ8, 1995-2003 Jaguar XJR, 1995-1997 Jaguar XJ6, and 1995-1996 Jaguar XJ12. This part cross-references Stabilus 4B-999261 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Hood that drops or will not stay open
  • Weak or slow hood lift assistance
  • Uneven hood support during service checks
  • Gas strut leakage or loss of pressure
  • Wear-related failure in the original hood support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year and model before installation, especially on Jaguar XJ8, XJR, and Vanden Plas applications. OE-style end fittings support direct replacement, and the hood should be securely supported before removing the old lift support. Confirm the mounting points are clean and aligned before snapping the new strut into place.

Quality Assurance

URO BEC19809 uses a maintenance-free high-pressure gas strut design with metal components, low-friction rod guides, and oil seals for long service life. It is backed by a 24 Month Unlimited Mileage Warranty.
