Engineered with precision and built to last, this gas spring delivers consistent force throughout its travel, ensuring that the rear window can be opened, closed, and held in any position without excessive effort or risk of slippage.

Key Technical Specifications

• Model Number: 110189
• Application: Rear window (Heckscheibe) for a wide range of vehicles, including the Peugeot 407 SW and its variants.
• Operating Pressure: Optimized to match standard automotive rear‑window mechanisms, providing smooth lift and secure locking.

• Low Maintenance: Requires no lubrication or periodic adjustments once installed.
• Safety Compliance: Meets all relevant automotive safety standards for load-bearing components.

Installation Process

Installing the STABILUS gas spring is straightforward and can be completed with standard hand tools. The following steps outline a typical installation procedure:

1. Remove the Existing Spring: Carefully detach the old rear‑window spring by loosening its mounting bolts and disconnecting any attached linkages.
2. Align the New Spring: Position the STABILUS gas spring so that its mounting points align precisely with those on the vehicle’s frame or window assembly.
3. Tighten Mounting Bolts: Secure the spring using the supplied bolts, ensuring a snug fit without over‑torquing.
4. Reconnect Linkages: Attach any necessary linkages or rods that transfer motion from the window to the spring mechanism.
5. Test Operation: Open and close the rear window several times to confirm smooth operation and proper load distribution.
