Hood - Parts Holds Hood Open
 
Folks

Happy Spring to everyone... I need to replace the two 'things' that hold the hood open. Mine do not seem to hold the hood open anymore so I need to replace them but I do not know the part number or the proper name. Anyone know where I can get these two parts (left and right).

Thanks
Scott

Do a search for hood struts on amazon or ebay
or you can find them on pelican parts

I purchased mine at O'Reilly's in 4/16 for $23 a piece.

Well you've taken care of this but for future reference the correct name for those parts are "Front Hood Thing-a-ma-bobs"(This side and the other side) or the short part name "Front hood hold up things"

The back trunk lid, well that's a whole different naming convention.
