Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

We'll replace these hood struts and usually they start going bad in the wintertime. If you lift up your hood and it doesn't stay up, usually they start getting weaker when it's colder first. It's pretty easy. You'll want somebody to help you or just lift up your hood. Use a small flat blade screwdriver. There's a little clip here that you pry in and pull that clip off. Then let it down, holding up the hood and do the same thing down here on the bottom side. Get the little clip off and pull the strut off.

Obviously these are fine. New ones from 1A Auto are going to go on just like the originals. All they do is make sure that clip is pushed back in, and push the strut on, lift it up into place, and put it on that place right there.
