Hatch Lift?

[BillinPA]

I really searched and read all the comments.
I have a 99 340 with a bad actuator. It goes down, but not up without assistance.
Here is what I have:
Does anyone have a lead on a 18” throw that will be plug and play?

Are you able to read the series # from that top blue line? Mine had this (DM12):

Looks like yours has been painted at least once .....

Thanks all. Looks pricey, but may have to bite the bullett

Looks like the one I just replaced, the one discussed in the thread referenced above.

Bill, try your local dealer - I think they're about $450/$500 and most likely (and this is the important thing nowadays) in stock.

Also have a weak actuator. Is anyone else's rigged like mine here in a 2 piece fashion? Most I've seen are just the one actuator arm connected without the additional attachment. Trying to figure out the size I need and I believe it normally takes the 18" but my guess is this would be a 12".

These are so much better. Faster and quieter.
