Hello Everyone,
I just replaced my hood struts yesterday.
I know have to push quite hard for the hood to start moving downward.
Is this normal? It also almost feels like one strut is stiffer than the other when pushing down on the hood.
Once the hood starts moving it's easy to keep pushing down.
I love the fact that the hood goes up easily.
Cheers Everyone!

Yeah I tried one strut and actually that was strong enough to keep the hood up.
It seems to be getting a little less stiff with additional opening and closing.
Thanks guys!
