The Stabilus 2B-034096 is a LIFT-O-MAT gas strut designed as a direct replacement hood support strut for Volkswagen Eos Convertible models from 2006 to 2015. This high-quality gas spring provides controlled lifting assistance and secure hold-open capability for the vehicle's hood, making engine bay access safer and more convenient.

Key Features:

• OE-quality gas strut from Stabilus, a primary supplier to automotive manufacturers
• Extended length of 733mm (28.9 inches) for proper hood support
• Hydropneumatic design with nitrogen gas filling for consistent force output
• Direct replacement for OEM part number 1Q0 823 359

• Easy installation with minimal tools required

Gas struts gradually lose pressure over time and with repeated use, which can make it difficult or unsafe to hold the hood open. This Stabilus replacement strut restores proper hood support function, ensuring the bonnet stays securely open during maintenance work. The nitrogen-filled pressure tube and precision piston design deliver reliable performance and long service life.
