2006-2012 Mercedes-Benz R320 R350 R500 GL-Class Rear Tailgate Hatch Lift Support Vertical Scissor 12.56 inch Black Painted Stabilus Gas

This is a used Stabilus gas strut, model 9126SX, designed for the rear tailgate of a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (X164). It features a matte black finish and is constructed from PA66 polyamide reinforced with glass fiber, as indicated by the embossed marking on the body. Both ends have eye-let ball-socket fittings for secure attachment. The strut is in good used condition with no visible structural damage, and only minor paint marks are present on the plastic end fittings. The overall appearance and features match the original equipment specification for the 2009–2012 GL-Class rear liftgate.

Fitment notes

Researched from the part numbers and the donor car.

Two researchers agreed on 1 of 1 vehicles in round 3.

Sources: The part was taken from a 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class GL350 BLUETEC 4-MATIC 3.0L V6 (X164 generation 2007-2012), and multiple parts catalogs and listings (including OEM and aftermarket sources) confirm the Stabilus gas strut part number 9126SX fits the rear tailgate of the X164 GL-Class generation within these years, specifically including GL350 BLUETEC variants. No other makes, models, or generations are listed as directly using this exact part number, thus the fitment is limited to the 2007-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class X164 generation. / Confirmed for the donor vehicle and X164 GL-Class generation; the cited interchange listing identifies the same Stabilus 5C-563602 family as a different fitment for R-Class vehicles, while available X166 listings describe electrically actuated supports with OE numbers A1669803764/A1668900100 rather than this non-locking 110 lb gas strut, so X166 GL-Class and GLS applications are excluded.
