Re: New Struts
Make sure you have a block of wood handy during the process. That's glass is pretty darn heavy

Re: New Struts
Are you talking the prop rod or pressurized hood lift support?

Re: New Struts
Do the two little ones on the hood while you're at it.
Makes the hood easier to open and they're inexpen$ive too. <88 C4s had them. The mounting studs should still be there. |

With New Hood Support the hood can easily be lifted and will stay lifted without locking the support (all ZR-1 hood supports loose lift after a few years and should be replaced). 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.
