Would you say the strut force is appropriate for hood structure?
What's the chance of bending hood when you close it what I'm getting at.
I've played around with straighting one of these hoods, front to hinge.
It doesn't take much to bend the web sub structure, less if adhesive is broke
loose in a place or two.

- Did you set the opening height at near-stock position, fully open, or somewhere in between?

Really like this kit and appreciate leon for putting this together,,,,works great.,,thanks for all your help getting my account setup....oh and I didn't realize there was directions in the box...forgot to look.,,didn't need them as it's an easy install.

I was also able to reuse the same hole the hose clamp was attached to without the strut putting pressure on the hose and finally, I did re-attach the buzzer to it's original hole using the new strut bolt as you suggested and it worked like a charm. Great product! My only complaint is I now have to get on my tippy toes to be able to grab and close the hood (kidding). The difference is night and day!
