Thanks. Great video, very well done.
This is a how to replace hood struts video, yet your title says how to
install…
Awesome, thanks for explaining how to do this. I am going to replace my
hood and hatchback lifts. Great video, and agree the ending was the best.
: )
thank you
Thanks for the help and I love how you left the blooper at the end.
how would you convert a manual hood prop on a 99 plymouth grand voyager to
a hood strut?
Thanks. Great video. Perfect instruction and funny ending
Thanks for video very useful, I also laughed at the end glad you didn’t
edit it out.
is it possible to install hood struts on a non-hood strut vehicle?
really helpful. This is an expensive repair at a lot of auto shops, even
though it’s a pretty basic replacement process.
!Add “Toyota” and “4runner” (and others I’m sure!) to your title or
keywords!!! Perfect. Nothing new to me– almost…. I’ve done a dozen of
these in the last 10 years… hoods, tailgates, hatches… simple. Right?
Went to do my 4Runner hood today and scratched my head. Almost took a
mallet to it after trying to YouTube this *peculiar* ball hinge. Thanks for
having pretty much the ONLY video that shows these non-releasing joints.
Kept me out of a bit of trouble.
It is possible, but would need some customized installation, (ie: Welding
brackets for the hood struts to the hood). Depending on the car, someone
may even make a conversion kit. I know for example, you can buy the kits
for Ford Mustangs and other cars that people frequently customize.
Too bad all prop rods are made like crap and fail after a few years , the
old spring coils were good for a lifetime .These items are about twenty
bucks but a shop will charge you through the nose to replace them , Minimum
0one hour . Thats why people hate garages and think all mechanics are
thieves .
first!
