Decapitated ? 😂 if it did close on him the most that would come out of it, is a bump on the noggin! Decapitated 😂

Man I’m saying why be lazy and not want to spend the 15-20$ for a new hood strut

[@kartboarder22g17]

Replacing my strut for the first time on a 2014 that's been on the road for almost 10 years. Explain to me why I would want to modify it to this vs. $10 for a new strut?

[@bob123281]

Same they are very cheap

[@Pinyoo81]

Just open the hood, and bend the strut lightly...

[@adeyemibabatunde1814]

How would the hood closes after bending the strut

[@VPlaya]

vise grips.

[@blueswallowtail4628]

Great idea

[@am529]

Or… you could spend $20-40 for a pair of new ones, swap them out in two minutes, and not rely on those crappy hose clamps

[@superglide9068]

How bout getting new 1s

[@Santicor01]

Amazing

[@nicklcarey]

All good until you try to slam the hood and its locked in. Also all good as long as it doesnt loop around and hit the fender on the way down. Just buy a strut man.....

[@MimikU7812]

And fun fact I replaced the ones on my 07 Acura TL for 14$ CAD, they are pretty cheap 🤣

[@vincentking8267]

New hood struts are like $20, what a waste of money.

[@Burgergarage17]

Or just replace the shock

[@mitsirrah4719]

Where to purchase?

[@mbmauto-mobilerepair]

Their at the front counter of any auto parts store.

[@askquestions1236]

[@askquestions1236]

little hose clamp with wing nut?

[@mbmauto-mobilerepair]

@AskQuestions 123 yeah pretty much. They're in every parts store usually at the front counter

[@askquestions1236]

[@basedeal]

Nice, though if you don’t have to e wing nut you can tighten it with a nut driver/flathead

[@obatala753]

O gasta 15$ en amazon y compra unos nuevos 😅

[@wolleyreikivalley]

[@PetePerez-p4z]

Seriously Or you can put a piece of wood ? Pure genius this guy

[@khoale4755]

Hood struts aren't really expensive to buy, just get a pair. This just makes the car look cheap, unless you have a cheap car. 😂

[@terrybo5924]

could see as only an emergency but agreed, car must be cheap if this is used.

[@Etiennevisvang]

No no no! Not cool.😮
