Thanks for the how-to. While I didn’t have a mini broom to prop it up, I did have a 10 yr old daughter that I managed to pry away from her tablet for just 5 minutes. Wish the pain went away after 5 minutes, from getting hit on the head by the hood (first & only time it happened.)

Thank you a great video I am going to replace mine now for the first time on a 2006 997

Best video on this topic - took me 5 minutes - my wallet (and the top of my head) thank you - no more bangs!

Very helpful video, thank you Sean! I just did mine and followed your tutorial but made 2 small modifications - I used an adjustable length squeegee to hold up the hood and draped a cloth on the front fender (up to where the bottom part of the strut was). Knowing my luck I would have scratched something if I didn’t! :)

Hi, are the hood struts in the engine the same size ?
-
Were the originals and the new ones the exact same length?
