Would have been nice to have seen the hood lowered and raised to see how quick it works especially since you mentioned that it hits a little bit hard when full open
Why it’s 2019 and Ford is still using hood props, is beyond me. Then again, it did take them till 2015 to start using independent rear suspensions on the mustangs, aside from cobras.
Another great idea product which is impractical for guys like me who have problems installing stuff. Usually, end up at the dealers and pay the $1...... hourly rate for an install.
This is kinda nitpicky but are you sure the struts should be mounted that way ? Does the upper mount come down far enough that the piston is lower than the cylinder ?? Because gas struts should always be mounted so that the piston is facing downwards when the hood, tailgate etc is closed. It's so that the seals in the cylinder is always lubricated :)
These are garbage I ordered these 2 times the pins are a pain in the butt to turn with everything in the way I'm getting the roush ones that just click in
What the don’t tell you is that you will need to realign the hood. No instructions on how to do it. That took most of the time about an hour just to realign the hood. Need two people to do it
Garbage product. Not only is it ridiculously hard to put the struts in the ball sockets but the pin is easy to lose (thankfully I got mine back) and once installed the hood alignment was off and the hood didn’t even go down after trying to close it. Waste of money on a cheap ass product

Love that you don't have to cut anything or reroute the wiper fluid line with this. Great design.
This and jack rails should be everyone's first mods
Nice review and install video!
What happens to the washer plug that was popped out?
Looks like the hole it went into is covered by the new bracket, which is a pity.
On sale, had to order them. Lol. I think that is the best price I've seen on hood struts so far..thanks for vid !
Thanks for watching, Raul!! -Zach
And already shipped now! Love American muscle lol..

This install can be completed with very simple hand tools though! Would be a great option for a first mod! -Zach
Is it possible to ordre the retainer pin ? Ive lost one !

With the exception of the gt500 why doesn't ford have struts on all mustangs
They have it in a weird spot too in the GT 500
Just installed mine an now the hood isn't aligned how do I fix that
I’m having the same issue. There really is an affix.
@@GhastlyZ06same did you ever figure it out?
@@OTBVanniu gotta loosen the bolts and align the hood.
Hmm. First time i seen a before and after. At least that brand of struts dont lift as high as a prop rod. Might be a issue for taller people.
There goes your hood alignment
Looks like it’s going to throw ur hood alignment off
My lower brackets kept pivoting and are really cheap. Junk, imo

How can you tell if its fully aligned? My hood shuts but doesn’t lock in. Any tips?

45 minutes, I could probably do it in half at work.
