Detailed Description

This Tuff Support hood lift support is intended for Mini Cooper owners replacing a worn or weak hood strut on supported body codes. The 614383 application covers the Mini Cooper R55, R56, R57, and R59 platforms, making it a fitment-based solution for 2007-2015 Mini Cooper hood support service. If your hood no longer stays open securely or drops faster than expected, this replacement support restores proper hood positioning for routine under-hood access.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Hood that will not stay open during service
• Weak or slow hood lift action
• Drooping hood after opening
• Uneven hood support on Mini Cooper body code applications
• Need for a replacement hood strut identified by part number 614383

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle body code before ordering: R55, R56, R57, or R59. Compare the existing support length, end fittings, and mounting points to confirm the correct hood lift support for your Mini Cooper. Replace the support when the hood is fully secured and follow standard hood support service procedures to avoid sudden movement.
