Gas Struts

Gas struts hold your bonnet open without a prop rod. Over time they lose pressure, and a bonnet that drifts down or won't stay up is both annoying and a safety risk when you're working in the engine bay.

Signs your struts need replacing

• The bonnet won't stay open on its own.
• The bonnet sinks slowly after opening.
• It's noticeably harder to lift than it used to be.
• Oil marks or damage on the strut body.

From Panel House

All bonnet struts in this collection are from Panel House, which supplies a large range of replacement body and lighting parts. Struts are listed by vehicle, so add your vehicle to see the options that fit.

Fitting tips

Replace both struts at the same time so they share the load evenly. Support the bonnet while you swap them over, and check the product page for whether a pair or single strut is supplied.

Why it matters

A bonnet that drops while you're checking oil or coolant can cause injury. Fresh struts make engine bay checks before a trip safer and easier.
