Re: Hood pistons instead of hinges ?

fyi... that pic shows the gas struts installed up-side-down
there is a wee bitty bit of oil in each gas shock to keep the rod seal from drying out
once the seals dry out the nitrogen gas bleeds off

i also think he chose the wrong length strut or possibly the wrong attachment points
the hood should be open more
