Under the Straw Hat
C4 owners know the hood is heavy—and when the factory strut weakens, you’ll feel it. GM upgraded to telescoping supports mid-cycle to prevent sag and stabilize the hood during service. This reproduction retains that smart safety collar and makes sure you're not holding the hood with your shoulder ever again.
Because Details Matter
A hood strut may seem small, but it controls one of the largest moving parts on your car. This replacement restores original ease-of-lift and ensures the hood stays open when and where you need it—especially when wrenching solo.
