VAICO Hood Gas Spring Strut

The VAICO hood gas spring strut (also called a hood lift support, hood strut or hood damper) holds the hood open after you raise it, so you have clear access to the engine bay. It also helps control the hood as it opens and closes. It replaces worn struts that no longer hold the hood up.

Key Features:

• Gas-pressurized design that helps lift the hood and hold it in the open position
• Replacement part that follows the original equipment design for form, fit and function
• End fittings are designed to match the original mounting points
• Built to resist corrosion and handle repeated opening cycles
• Made by VAICO, a brand of aftermarket replacement parts for European vehicles

Signs of a worn hood strut include a hood that will not stay open, that drops slowly, or that opens with little assistance. Replacing the strut restores safe, convenient hood operation. Choose the specific part number that matches your application from the available options.
