These gas spring supports are the hydraulic lift arms that hold your Dometic Heki 2 roof vent open. If your vent lid won't stay propped or falls slowly, these worn gas springs are likely the culprit. This is a left/right pair replacement set for Heki 2 models.
Key Features
- Left and right gas spring pair for balanced vent operation
- Maintains consistent opening force and smooth operation
- Direct replacement for original Dometic Heki 2 springs
- Prevents vent lid from slamming or drooping

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my gas springs are failing?
If your Heki 2 vent lid won't stay open, closes too slowly, or feels weak when you push it up, the gas springs have lost pressure and need replacement. Both springs should be replaced as a pair for balanced operation.
Do I need any special tools to install these?
No special tools required. You'll need basic wrenches or sockets to remove the old springs and bolt on the new pair. Installation typically takes 15-20 minutes per side.
Will these work on other Dometic roof vents?
These are specifically designed for the Heki 2 model. Other Dometic vents like the Heki 3 or Seitz vents use different spring assemblies. Always verify your vent model before ordering.
