How do these hood shocks improve everyday use of the hood?

Worn or weak hood struts can make opening and securing the hood awkward or unsafe. AiYiGu shocks restore controlled opening, smooth motion, and a firm hold when the hood is raised, reducing reliance on a prop rod or a second person.

• Gas-charged design supplies consistent lift force and damped motion
• Precise lengths ensure correct hood geometry and sealing when closed
• Pair configuration balances left and right support for stable holding
• OEM replacement fit avoids clearance or alignment issues

What tools and steps are needed to install the replacement struts?

Installation is straightforward and intended for owners comfortable with basic automotive tasks. No special fasteners are required; most installs use a flathead screwdriver to release the old bracket and snap the new ball-socket onto the hood and body mount points.

• Recommended: flathead screwdriver and a helper or a prop rod for safety
• Prop the hood securely before removing existing strut brackets
• Remove old strut by prying off the retention clip, then press new strut onto ball studs
• Verify even operation and secure seating on both sides before driving

What warranty and package details come with the AiYiGu set?

The product ships as a two-piece set (left and right) without screws and includes a two-year warranty against material and workmanship defects. If the struts show a manufacturing fault within the warranty period, AiYiGu customer support offers assistance and replacement options.

• Package contains 2 hood struts (left and right), no mounting screws included
• Compressed length: 9.87 inches; Extended length: 15.12 inches
• Covered by AiYiGu two-year limited warranty from date of purchase
