Hi, I don't know if this thread will fit on show and shine but I have a question about the steel stick that holds the hood open.

I don't know but somehow, my steel stick holder is not in a good condition.

Did anybody change their hood holder to the air-powered, automatic (I don't know what it's called) hood holder..? When it opens, it makes little bit of "pssh" sound and keeps the hood open.

or if nobody tried it, does anyone know the name of it? so i can find it online like universal and change it.

Thanks, If it doesn't belong here, please let me know.

 

the term you are looking for is hood dampers, there are a few companies that make them, look at tein's website

 

hmm, i was doing a little search and i found that it is hood prop/ hood lift gas struts?
found this product on ebay.

should it be good for change or look for another company?

 

i would never buy any product off ebay, i would go with something real and proven, but thats just my opinion

 

you could also always pick up a replacement prop rod from a junkyard and pay maybe ten bucks.

 

oh, that's a good idea.

alright, thanks for your comments, i'll stop by a junkyard this weekend or something.
