Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented gas strut operates on both the right and left sides, allowing it to be used as a replacement part in pairs or individually, depending on service requirements. It is responsible for the smooth movement of the trunk lid, reducing stress on the hinges and improving the comfort of daily vehicle use.

Selecting the correct component for your Mini is facilitated by the use of a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which allows for precise verification of compatibility with the specific F54 Clubman body version.

Construction and technical characteristics

The gas strut belongs to the group of components responsible for supporting and guiding the trunk lid. The design is based on a precisely selected gas mechanism that:

• stabilizes the movement of the lid throughout the entire opening range,
• prevents the lid from dropping suddenly,
• ensures consistent performance characteristics under typical operating conditions.

Thanks to its factory origin from the Mini brand, the correct mounting points and operating geometry are maintained, which translates into proper fitment with the hinges and bodywork. This, in turn, facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of stress within the tailgate area.

Benefits of using an original gas strut

Using an original gas strut in the Mini F54 Clubman allows you to maintain the factory performance parameters of the trunk lid. Key advantages include:

• secure holding of the lid in the open position, which increases user safety during loading and unloading,
• more predictable, smooth opening and closing, without jerking or uncontrolled dropping,
• maintaining the correct operating geometry of the hinges and reducing excessive loads on the rear body structure,
• easier diagnostics and service thanks to clear assignment to a specific Mini model.

Replacing a worn-out component with an original gas strut from the same product group restores the comfort of operating the trunk lid and reduces the risk of damage resulting from improper lid support.

Application in service and retrofits

The trunk lid gas strut is suitable for both standard maintenance repairs and more extensive work related to the rear body, e.g., after a collision or when replacing the complete tailgate. Thanks to its dedicated placement on the right and left sides, it is possible to maintain the symmetrical operation of the entire lifting system.
