Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and connection style before installation. Match the plastic socket and telescopic tube attachment points to the original support on the vehicle. Compare the existing hood support to the 1B-529393 dimensions before removal so the replacement aligns with the hood geometry on the Chrysler Crossfire or Mercedes-Benz SLK platform.
