Alright this may be a stupid question but here it goes anyway. My hood wont stay open because the damper/piston thing that holds the hood open is shot. Dunno if its fluid or air but guessin its fluid inside it, but anyway my question is. To fix it do i have to replace the both of those things or is there like a diy where i can fix it? And if so what/where is it?

 

its a simple DIY..

few clips and thats it..

 

So just buy the new part and replace it? Would i need to take the entire hood off, or just have something else prop it up while i change it out?

 

no.. just have something that'll hold the hood up for you while you change them out.

 

cool thanks, do that sometime later, first is the 105k service lol. Got a lot of work to do in this car.

 

i have the same exact problem lol just been too lazy to swap dampeners

 

Because it takes all of 20 seconds each to change. If your too lazy to do that id hate to see how you would put off a hard task like changing a tire

 

Lol I didn't mean it like I have em and just too lazy to put em in I've just been moddin like crazy before the chicago meet so even tho there only 40 bucks they have been getting pushed back and back lol

 

pewwww i was about to say

 

Lol I guess I shouldn't of used lazy... Probably procrastinate lol

 

Lol I guess I shouldn't of used lazy... Probably procrastinate lol.... Btw you makin it to the meet kris?

 

do we just get the hood piston at the dealer or is there an outside vendor that sells for cheaper.

 

Dealer or auto parts stores (i got mine at the auto parts stores, others havent been able to)
