So this was a 'nice to have' addition. Was not necessary but I wanted it.
So the install was as simple as possible. Took about 20 minutes. Works great
ONLY and I mean ONLY issue is/was: one of the socket ends was a bit snug going over the ball fitting on the bracket. Stopped be for about 2 minutes..... I took a pair of channelocks and ushered it on. ( going to be an issue if I ever have to replace it )
Side note... does not lift the hood any higher but works as expected.
THANK YOU!!!!
These do exactly what they're supposed to by lifting the hood a little higher and allowing you to get rid of the stock hood prop. The hood raises and lowers with very little effort. The difficulty lies in installing them — the illustrations on the instructions are tiny and the instructions are written in German, technical German at that! Which means that your high school German is not sufficient and on-line translators will not recognize many of the terms. What isn't really too difficult an installation took far longer than needed due to poor illustrations and lack of instructions in English. That said, I love 'em but can only give them a four-star rating.
Note from FM: That was obviously an oversight! Sorry about that. They should ship with English instructions, which can also be found on the "instructions" tab on this page.
