Some notes from the guy who had them first
You need to use the top hole at the rear or they are not strong enough to keep the Bonnet (soory Hood) up. We had a load of folks in the UK moaning that they would only just keep the hood up if you lifted it all the way. turns out they were all using the bottom hole. The top hole works and wont touch the bonnet if it is adjusted and levelled properly.
Also mine are beginning to rust after 6 months, so go and give yours a good soaking in WD-40 and wax them NOW! before its too late
Hey Mole, thanks for getting us hooked up with the company to ge thtem from!
We tried the top hole on the hood and the strut isn't long enough to do it. It will open fine, but runs out of room in the actual strtu cartridge and bottoms out, thus not allowing you to be able to close the hood.
I don't know what would happen if I switched to the other hole in the fender at the same time, didn't try that, but might be worth a shot.
I agree though that they will not lift the hood, but hold it up just fine once in position.
