Easy To Install

Replacing Porsche Hood Struts is a simple DIY task that usually takes about 10 minutes.

• Step 1: Support the hood or front trunk: Have someone hold it fully open, or use a secure prop stick to prevent it from falling.
• Step 2: Remove the old strut: Use a flathead screwdriver to gently lift the small retaining clip, then pull the strut off the ball mount. Repeat for both ends.
• Step 3: Install the new strut: Align the new strut with the ball mounts and push it into place until the clip snaps securely.
• Step 4: Check the direction: Install the new strut in the same direction as the original one. In most applications, the thicker cylinder end faces upward and the thinner rod end points downward.
• Step 5: Replace both sides: Always replace both struts together to keep even pressure and prevent premature wear.
