Trunk Lid Lift Support

The trunk lid lift support, also sometimes called a trunk strut or trunk shock, is a gas-charged cylinder that helps support and lift the trunk lid of a vehicle. Some trunk lift supports are also electric or hydraulic depending on the vehicle’s equipment. The trunk lift support assists the opening of the trunk or hatch, making it easier to open and sometimes opening it automatically. When you open the trunk, the lifting rod extends to push the lid open, ensuring it stays in place. Trunk lid supports remove the need to hold the trunk while loading and unloading and prevent it from slamming shut accidentally. Most European vehicles have a pair of supports, but occasionally there is just one. They are usually held onto the body and the trunk via posts and retaining clips, making them an easy DIY for most vehicle owners.

As a vehicle ages and the trunk support goes through hundreds of actuations, trunk lid lift supports will wear out and fail primarily due to the internal seal on the extending rod failing and losing pressure. When that happens, the trunk lid will feel heavier to open and slam shut unexpectedly. When replacing trunk lid supports that use a flat clip and post-mounting design, we recommend wearing some type of mechanic gloves since the retaining clips can be somewhat sharp and move unexpectedly when applying leverage with a screwdriver.

Trunk Lid Lift Support Failure Symptoms
  • Internal Leaks: If the gas piston is leaking internally, the trunk lid lift support won’t be able to leverage the trunk open
  • Age/Corrosion/Rust: If the trunk lift supports are exposed to the elements or are very old, it could hinder smooth operation, causing dead spots in the operation

Trunk Lift Strut
While everyone else is leaving five star reviews, I can only muster two stars for these trunk struts. I bought these and installed them. They fit fine and install wasn't a problem. The problem is they only lasted 3 years. Disappointing to say the least.

Stabilus Trunk Struts
Installed these as my trunk had to propped with an umbrella for the past year making me feel like one of the Winchesters from supernatural. That being said, they fit well, and after 7 months are still working perfectly without any leaks or falls. Trunk holds in nearly all positions. Worked in cold and hot climate.

Trunk stays open!!
No more worries about concussions! Went on smoothly, used a 2' pipe wrench as a lever to pop off the old ones. Piece of cake.

Fit great, little troublesome replacing. Need to pop out the seat sides to get access to front clips. Replaced both struts and now the trunk stays at any position I place it.

You only need to have the wind blow the trunk lid down on your head once for it to dawn on you that, hey, maybe I need new trunk struts. OEM manufacturer and perfect fit and performance.

Be very careful with trunk lid lifts. Those from Autozone, Pep boys, and O'Reilly are generic and do not fit. These parts do. To remove the old lifts, start in the trunk. Block the trunk open with a broom. Remove the clips from the trunk end of the lifts using a small flathead screwdriver. Move to the back seat. Fold down the rear seats. Remove the side bolsters by pulling the top first. these are held in by clips and require a firm tug. (You can't break the clips because they are made of spring steel.) Feel for the ends of trunk lifts below the parcel shelf. The trunk ends are held in place with a compression hook. The OEM hooks are plastic and after years of cooking in the trunk will be very brittle and inelastic. To remove them, it will take substantial force. In my case, I used a short flathead screwdriver and a flat pry bar. Keep any pointy ends away facing downward to avoid facial injury! The lift hooks into a horizontal bar.mApply upward force to hook closer to the rear of the car. If you, use the notch on the lift, the force required will bend the old lift. Do not apply force on the hook on the front side of the car, this will break it and the pry bar may hurt you! The new lifts will hook in easily.

Questions & Answers

Ask a question
Question Posted by a customer
does this also work for the s70's without spoiler?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, this fits cars with or without spoiler. The difference is it will be slightly stronger to account for the minimal weight difference of the spoiler on the deck lid, so the lift will be a little quicker than the genuine number 9485546
Question Posted by a customer
Will these work with a factory spoiler?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
p/n 9485547 will work for models with a spoiler.
