Hood won't hold up
Hi, anyone else had this problem? My hood won't stay up anymore. It's a 09 and I hardly ever pop the hood and this piece of crap already took a dump on me. ARGGH Anyone fixed it and how much is it?

Thanks

That's your problem right there. The more you pop the hood, the longer the hood struts will last. Regardless it's a cheap and easy replacement.

Should be a simple fix - Buy struts and install them yourself.

It sucks but it is what it is.. Shouldn't be that hard to install.
