Most Liked Positive Review
I would buy this product again
Bought a pair of these for a 2002 and a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee hood installation. Installed in about 15 minutes per vehicle. Supports look well built, beefier than the OEM units I removed and hoping they last longer. I was impressed enough with them when I opened the package after it arrived at home, I ordered another pair and picked them up at the store a few weeks later. Now I don't need a board to keep the hood open on my Jeeps.
Most Liked Negative Review
Does not fit the Mazda6 hatch
Just a standard lift support, but these do not fit the Mazda6 hatch backs. I didn't think about it when ordering, but when I received them, I knew they were way short. These are made to fit the trunk lids only. [...]

Works as it should
Staff Reviewer -
The previous lift supports would only raise the hood to about mid-forehead level. I only needed to replace one of the two supports to get it working full range.
