Detailed Product Description

The StrongArm 6030 hood lift support is a specific fit part designed exclusively for the Mini Cooper. Its steel outer cylinder, finished in black, offers durability and resistance to wear. The 19 mm cylinder diameter combined with an 8 mm inner shaft diameter provides the necessary strength to support the hood reliably. Both ends feature 10 mm nylon ball socket connectors, ensuring secure attachment points that reduce noise and wear. The 2.5-inch stroke length allows for smooth hood lifting and lowering, while the maximum force of 160 Newtons maintains the hood in an open position safely. The inclusion of rubber and Teflon materials enhances the longevity and performance of the lift support by minimizing friction and corrosion.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or weak hood lift supports on Mini Cooper models
• Eliminates hood sagging or difficulty in holding the hood open
• Prevents sudden hood closure that can cause injury or damage
• Restores smooth and controlled hood operation
• Addresses rattling or noise caused by degraded lift supports

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6030 hood lift support requires removal of the old lift support and attachment of the new unit using the 10 mm nylon ball socket ends. Ensure the hood is securely propped open during replacement to avoid injury. Verify that the compressed and extended lengths match the original part to maintain proper hood alignment and function. No internal rebound spring is included, so handle the lift support carefully during installation to avoid damage.
