FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do these replace the factory prop rod?
Yes. These struts eliminate the need for a manual prop rod or tired factory strut, letting the bonnet lift and hold itself open.
Will this fit all trims in the range?
Yes, they are a direct bolt-in fit across the listed model range and body styles.
How do I keep them shiny?
A quick wipe with a clean cloth is usually enough. For a deep shine, any standard chrome or metal polish will maintain the mirror finish indefinitely.
