Installation Notes

Bonnet strut replacement is a straightforward DIY job — typically 15–20 minutes per side with no special tools required. Always have a second person support the bonnet during installation, or use a sturdy prop. Replace both struts as a pair — a new strut paired with a tired one creates uneven loading and shortens the new one's life.

Signs You Need New Struts

• Bonnet drops on its own, won't stay up
• Slow or weak lift when you release the catch
• Worse on cold mornings — gas pressure drops with temperature
• Visible oil residue on the chrome shaft, or hissing when compressed
• Bonnet needs to be propped with a stick or rod
