RAMATA Hood Prop — Adjustable 17–44.5 in Telescoping Hood Support for Cars & Trucks with Rubber Tips

RAMATA Hood Prop is a universal, telescoping hood support that securely holds open vehicle hoods and trunks while you work, sized from 17 to 44.5 inches for most cars and trucks.

Whether you're changing fluids, inspecting the engine bay or performing light repairs, a reliable hood prop gives you both hands-free access and peace of mind. The RAMATA Hood Prop combines a three-stage telescoping shaft, rubber end tips and a positive locking tab to deliver a stable, reusable support that stows compactly when not in use.

How does this hood prop attach and stay locked?

Attachment is quick and intuitive: position the prop between a suitable support points, extend to the desired length, then engage the locking tab to secure it. The fail-safe locking mechanism prevents unintentional collapse while the rubberized ends protect paint and provide grip.
