My '91Z already had the pins so all i had to buy was the struts/pistons...$15... your video did show me I had to remove the larger strut so hood could open further... thanks for that! Great vid 👌 👍.

Glad you got it to where you can open your hood without your Dad’s help anymore. 😀 It would have been interesting to see the difference just replacing the prop rod first. I can’t watch mine lift without touching it, but takes little effort to open. Maybe I need a new prop rod?
@Doulop
@Doulop 3 года назад
I actually wanted to do just the pop rod first but decided against it. Not sure why. Sorry man! I don’t know but if you release it and it falls, I would say it needs replaced!
@lilabner318
@lilabner318 3 года назад
@@Doulop maybe I need to replace the prop rod. It goes up easy with help and doesn’t fall, it won’t go up by itself like yours does now. I’m sure my prop rod is the original. Now I’m mad, it ONLY lasted 30 years. 😀

Hello again. Very helpful vidio. Would you please confirm part number for the hardware kit from Mid America. Also would you also confirm the part number from Strong Arm. Appreciate the advice. I am 78 years young and any help lifting the hood of my 1991 C4 with 24,000 miles. Thanks Bobcat
@Doulop
@Doulop 3 года назад
Thanks a lot. Mid America part number for conversion kit is Part #: 609-627. The other ones don’t technically have part numbers because they are on Amazon. I hope you can get them and help your hood be lighter. Thank you very much

When I was shopping for my at C4 last summer, I looked at one with a broken hood corner from opening the hood with a hand on that corner. A body shop told me it was fixable but not cheap. I open it with my hand more towards the middle of the hood, less likely to break off.

Hey Tim, thanks for this tip. Never thought about that before. Thank you!

@@Doulop I hadn't considered it either until I saw the car. Your video is good, as a properly working strut will help avoid using too much force an snapping off a piece of your hood for an expensive repair!
