      Great price and performance. Installed with the help of my 11 year old daughter in less than 10 minutes. Saved over $70 from dealer cost.

      My 1984 Mercedes 190e strut finally failed (I know, they just don't make things that last anymore) so I bought this as a replacement. The installation process took less than 5 minutes and the new strut fit properly and works perfectly.

      Worked well, shipped right and easy to install.. Highly recommend this item. Recommend that you buy in pairs as the second side is probably weak and you'll need another soon.

      Worked perfect for my audi. Install was easy as could be. I would recommend this to anyone. Save yourself the headache of getting hit in the head by your hood.

      Ordered these hood struts from AutoPartsWAY and like always, they were shipped quickly and beautifully packaged They are exact replacements for the original equipment on my 2000 MB S500. The only tool required to change them is a small screwdriver to release the clips on the old ones. Just look at the new ones and you can see how they work before you attempt to remove the old ones. One tip. Be sure to raise the hood to the full vertical position in order to snap the new ones on without hassle. You won't be able to push the new strut in like the old weak ones. The whole job only takes about 5 minutes. What a difference it makes.

      My hood kept on falling on me on my BMW. The arrived fast and installation was simple. Fits and works well for my BMW E36.

      This product looks exactly like the original VW/Audi product, except for the labeling!Works exactly as the original, raises the hood properly and holds it there.

      I ordered the hood strut for my 2004 Audi Cabriolet since the original one doesn't support the hood any more, it just leaked and died overnight. This one came within a week with free shipping, just popped the old one out (with help of my wife) from both ends and snapped the new one in, the hood is up again. Without the strut, we can feel how heavy the hood really is.

      I was very easy to install and worked great. I would order this again if ever needed. Thanks for reading....

      Every place that I looked for this product, it was either the wrong strut size, or over $80. It doesn't come with instructions, but you wont need them. Just a little light pressure with a flat head screw driver prying up under the metal part, and it slides right on. Im not a mechanic, my boyfriend usually does all the work. This is day one, it seems to be really strong. Im super happy with this find!28yr old femaleWashington State

      Took less than 5 minutes to install on my 97 BMW 318I Convertible. The stock hood struts were worn out and this is the solution. Crazy easy to install and worth every penny. Search YouTube for "BMW Hood Struts" for a how-to. Do it!

      Functions and looks identical to the OEM hood strut on my Audi A4 (2004, 1.8 Quattro). Removal and installation was done easily with a single flat head screw driver to hold open the locking latch. 5-10 minutes in all/ The only hard part was keeping the hood open with my head by installing the strut.

      I bought this product to replace the struts on my newly purchased Volvo, I was attracted by the price difference that I could get them from AutoPartsWAY compared to some of the local parts houses. They work great and snapped into place after I removed the old struts. I am highly satisfied with this product and can recommend it to anyone who is looking for an affordable alternative.
