hood wont stay up

when i open my hood it slowly comes back down. the things that on the sides that hold it up have gotten weak. what are those things called anyways? and how do i fix it? do i need new ones?

Hood dampers.

Try your local friendly dealership.

Or you can be a pimp and custom fit the Teins -- http://www.tein.com/hooddamp.html
