Detailed Description

Vaico V30-2045 is a hood lift support engineered for Mercedes-Benz body applications where consistent hood retention and smooth opening action are required. The measured 535 N force rating, 460 mm length, and 180 mm stroke provide the operating range needed for proper hood support on the listed E-Class vehicles. If you are replacing a worn hood strut on a Mercedes-Benz E320, E430, E55 AMG, or E300, this part number V30-2045 offers a direct replacement path based on confirmed fitment.

Compatible With 1996-2003 Mercedes-Benz E320, N/A; 1998-2002 Mercedes-Benz E430, N/A; 1999-2002 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG, N/A; and 1996-1999 Mercedes-Benz E300, N/A. Use this hood lift support when the original support no longer holds the hood securely or opens with the correct resistance.

What It Helps Solve

  • Weak hood support that no longer holds the hood open
  • Uneven or inconsistent hood opening effort
  • Hood drop during inspection or underhood service
  • Noise or binding from a worn gas strut assembly
  • Replacement needs for aging Mercedes-Benz E-Class hood hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support length, stroke, and force rating before installation. Compare the mounting points and overall dimensions to the original unit on the vehicle to confirm proper replacement. For best results, replace a worn hood lift support when the hood begins to sag, requires extra effort to open, or no longer stays raised securely.
