Hood Struts
I was wondering if anyone out there could let me know about hood struts. I have a 97 GT Coupe that originally came with just a prop rod. My wife hit a deer and crumpled the original hood. I bought a used one from a later model that has the 'nubs' for the struts.
My question is, where do the struts attach on the lower end? I just have the hood hinges that were original to my 97. There is a hole at the front edge of the lower hood hinge...does it attach there or is there a mounting point on the inner fender that may not be present on my early '97 (bought July 3, 1996). I would like to add struts so it's not so heavy to lift all the time. Any help appreciated! |

You need to have the hinges that have the posts on them for the struts. Yours does not have them. You could possibly pick some up from a junk yard or post a WTB thread for them over at clubgp. You might even be able to have a shop weld some on for you.
I'll try to take a picture for you so you can see what I mean. |

Re: Hood Struts
Audio is correct, you have to install the lower posts in order to install the strut
