If the old Hood Support is not making the Hood lift easy with the fingers and if that support does not easily hold the Hood Open (within the last foot of hood movement) then you need a New Hood Support.
It danged near takes two hands to lift it now. It's "due".

Also, the hatch support struts need to be replaced. But, they're on back-order (at MAM). Haven't checked at Eklers (yet).

Google gas struts.
Lots of places sell them.
Why spend the extra $ at Ecklers and MAM?
