Hood Gas Spring Kit

Its design prioritizes easy engine access, with struts mounted near the cowl, allowing access to the engine from the sides without obstruction. The kit utilizes progressive struts, which smoothly lift the hood to its fully open position once it reaches the halfway point. This contrasts with simpler linear struts that can lead to a jarring stop or necessitate manual assistance to open fully, potentially stressing components. To optimize weight, cost, and minimize vehicle modification, this kit employs a single gas spring. However, this design necessitates careful closure of the hood to prevent twisting or damage. Users must be cautious, pushing the hood down gently and from the side where the gas spring is located. Aggressive closing, especially from the middle or the opposite side of the gas spring, can damage the aluminum hood.
