Product Details

This hood lift support is intended for Kia Optima vehicles that use the listed hood support configuration. Use it when the original support no longer holds the hood securely or loses pressure over time.

Common Issues It Can Help Solve

• Hood drops after being raised
• Weak or inconsistent hood support
• Need to prop the hood manually during service
• Original lift support no longer maintains pressure

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle year and body style before ordering, since this part is listed for 2006 Kia Optima Old Style and 2003-2005 Kia Optima applications. Compare the original support length, end fittings, and mounting points to the existing part before installation. Part number 612595 should be matched to the vehicle’s hood support setup for proper fitment.
