How do I install the AiYiGu hood struts and what should I watch for?

Installation is straightforward and intended for someone comfortable with basic hand tools. Thread each ball stud in about one-quarter turn initially to hold alignment, then secure by tightening all fasteners once both studs are positioned; this avoids binding and ensures correct geometry.

• Install the included 10mm ball studs into hood and frame locations
• Screw each stud in about one-fourth turn, mount strut ends, then tighten all studs
• Double-check hood travel and secure fit before relying on struts during work
