First, big thanks to MoGas for bringing this to my attention, and getting me a good price on the parts.
Everyone that has had gas good struts know that when they fail, they do so unexpectedly, usually with your head positioned just right so that it doesnt slam shut all the way....you head makes a good stop.
You'll need the following parts from Toyota:
53451-90A00 Hood Rod
90480-15002 Grommet
53452-90351 Holder
The hole for the holder, and hole for the grommet are already there, so you just pop them in. The grommet is on the drivers' side, and so is the hole for the support rod.
You may need to make some small bends to make everything fit; I didn't but MoGas did...RMV.
And for some pics, my old hood stick...just for Louis.
And no more stick...just rod!
