Lift support cylinders not holding the hood up

[MrInternal]

Do they wear out like this -- or is there a way to adjust it?

 

[IZwack]

yes they wear with use... replacements can be purchased from local auto shops like PepBoys and AdvancedAuto, or ur dealer.

 

[MrInternal]

Thank you. I bought two a week ago [$20 each], and I'll put them on tomorrow.

Mine lasted almost 5 years before I had to replace.

The day I bought mine I popped the hood at the dealership and one was busted. They replaced it on the spot.

Aftermarket or OEM lifters?

I've purchased replacements at Advanced and the lifter on the passenger side keeps breaking at the attachment point closest to the cowl. Can't figure out what's causing it but I've been through two now.

Too easy to install.

However, it took me a while to figure out why it wouldn't go on --- I had it turned upside down, even though I put it on the same way I took it off.

I guess they are flipped from the factory.
