(This kit was provided free of charge to me for this installation video & review.)
CLARIFICATION: At 4:12, I mean that the inside layer of the CX-30's hood sheet metal flexes; the strut and its hardware seem completely fine.
If you like to work under the hood of your CX-30, hood struts will make your engine bay feel far more premium and prevent the hood prop rod from getting in your way. In this video, I'll show you step-by-step how to install hood struts, and upgrade your under-hood experience in just 10-15 minutes.

What's the coolest DIY job you've heard of for the CX-30? Leave a comment!

@jorgegil9961 2 года назад

Adding the Front Grill Mesh Inserts Trims Front Grille Guard makes the car look complete. Without it, the car looks like it’s not complete.

Really like the style and pace of your video. I really appreciate you sharing your experiences and view on the CX-30 as a long term owner. I just ordered mine and cannot wait to have mine delivered,

@thedjflowpodcast Год назад

Did mine in 10 minutes tops with your video. Sweet! JUST MAKE SURE THE HOOD IS ALWAYS SECURED PROPERLY. YOU NO LONGER USE THE WEIGHT OF THE HOOD TO CLOSE IT SO YOU HAVE TO PUSH DOWN. THAT WOULD BE AN EXPENSIVE DANGEROUS ACCIDENT IF THE HOOD FLIPPED OPEN BECAUSE IT WASN'T CLOSED ALL THE WAY. Thank you for the idea and instruction.

Hi James! I did it on my CX-30. Awesome upgrade

@eugenevivolo4884 Год назад

Just got done installing the struts on my bo$$ a$$ CX-30. Thanks for the vid, the instruction sheet that came with it was anything but helpful.

Excellent video James champion! Great help! 👋👋👋👋👋😊😊😊😊😊

@purplemonkeydishwasher9360 Год назад

This is a great video. Thanks for sharing this. I think this will be a nice and easy upgrade to my CX30 when it arrives in a few months. I wonder if they have one like this for the Mazda 5.

@BeyondTheTestDrive 2 года назад

Pretty straight forward install. Nice! Hood struts are an odd thing. Kia has them on many models but Honda is notorious for no struts. Camry’s use to have them but I think they even ditched them.

@AJustinVisual 2 года назад

Doing this on my cx-30 also thanks for the video

@linkuhndave 2 года назад

Did a single on my MX-5. It was a simple kit like this install. I wold do this on my CX-30 but, it's a lease.

@tatj83 Год назад

Just ordered a set. Had to do this to my Mustang GT also.

Hi, do you have the amazon link to this item prepared for the new Mazda 3 BP ?

@NissanSupraGTR 8 месяцев назад

Does the hood ever pop open when it's not supposed to with this installed?

@davetheindonesian 3 месяца назад

how did you remove the circle piece from 2:05? i spent 10 minutes using different tools and force and was unable to get it off.

@adamhowland9826 8 месяцев назад

Where did you get them from

@hrabiadrakuloa5045 8 месяцев назад

Lol. You open Mazda's hood so rarely, so you don't need this 😂

@jace1113 Год назад

Dude, how do you get your partner to agree on the money you spend on cars 😆

@JamesPlaysWithCars Год назад

I'm still wondering about that myself!

@ronammologist16 Год назад

Cammon pal! That "cresant" wrench is a combination wrench, and that 9 over 16 is called a 9-16th. Please know your tools so you dont sound silly!

@davidbloomberg9494 Год назад

Or that it is spelled "crescent wrench"

@inctru Год назад

Stuff like this should be standard equipment, considering how bulky the hoods are on these vehicles. Instead, automakers choose to make certain tech-bloat & features that a lot of people don't even want standard instead. Go figure.
