Fits 2008 Prius - Way Easy to install - You’ll need a Small, thin, Standard Screwdriver + Broom handle and a Pair of Sissers. ~ 10 minute install - including putting away your tools and washing up - Video included :) First compare these to your installed originals before you cut the plastic straps that release each os the pressurized pistons! For our 2008 Prius - they fairly closely matched the length and girth of the larger (lower) piston width and length - and the coupling mechanism on both ends was exactly the same - using a single bridge holding clip. So we ahead with the install. Even if your current pistons hod the door up fairly well - to do this work you will want to be sure to prop the hatch door open - with a broom handle or something that holds it up so the door doesn’t start to come down as you work - or remove one of the pistons. Without saying - it’s safest to remove and replace each side - one at a time - as the hatch door has a surprising amount of down leverage due to its weight and how far out it swings. The short video shows after installing the right new hatch lift piston - the basics of the easy removal and install. Sorry its a rough cut video - but you’ll probably will get the drift of it. These replacement lift struts make all the difference in the world. Will they last as long as the originals? Maybe - but at this price point a fix for less than a tank of gas - we’re all good here.

Easy installation and now I do t get a headache every time I open the hood....and 5 seconds later it falls on my head. Problem fixed

Easy to install in a 2013 RX350. Came with angled adapters (which the RX needs). Seems to be the same weight and look as the OEM struts. Easily holds the hood up. Unsure about how long they'll last (OEMs lasted 12 years), but at this price, I don't mind replacing every 5-7 years.

The trunk door on my car started sagging to the point where Id bonk my head because the old shocks were giving out (Im 6'1" so im tall). I ordered these to replace them. The install was a pain, but the plastic tip on the edge of the new shock snapped off when I installed it so I had to use the old plastic piece from the old shock (it twists off) not a big deal just frustrating. Other than that it works super great, it lifts the trunk door up to the max and now I don't hit my head. Its harder to close now because they are stiff but thats obviously expected. Super happy, hope these will last another 10 years!

I am glad I bought these. Having it replaced in an auto shop would have been very expensive. Since I was doing the replacement without any help and don't have special tools to work on cars, it turned out to be quite an easy task. It seems to be working quite well after installation, few months ago. The quality seems to be really good for the price. I definitely would recommend these struts (just make sure that the car hood is held up in a secure way! I replaced them in my concrete driveway and used a 6 ft step ladder jacked up under the hood to keep the hood. Also, I had couple of heavy cinder blocks butted up against the ladder legs to prevent it from sliding out and away)

Good product , fyi , block hood up before changing

Llegaron dentro de lo acordado, sin daño alguno, llevo un par de meses y siguen teniendo muy buen funcionamiento

This doesn't fit a nissan pathfinder armada. Do not buy, like someone else mentioned....there needs to be a slight angle at the bottom connection like the one being replaced, they just pop off when you close the hood

Hood struts were simple to install and I completed the change over in 15 minutes (including 5 minutes for YouTube instruction review). Only needed a flat head screwdriver for the retaining clips.

Muy buen producto, facil de instalar, se ven como los originales, funcionan al 100. Tengo un año y medio usándolos y todo al 100

Vey good and easy to do
