GAS STRUT - HOOD FOR MODEL S (2012-2021) 1062634-00-A

Product Overview

Key Specifications

Why It’s Essential for Your Model S

• Effortless Hood Operation: Eliminates the need for manual prop rods. With a gentle lift, the gas strut smoothly raises the hood to the full open position and holds it securely—no risk of sudden drops, even on uneven ground.
• Temperature Resistant: The nitrogen gas charge maintains consistent pressure across extreme temperatures (-40°C to 80°C), ensuring reliable performance in snowy winters, hot summers, or desert climates. No more hood sagging in heat or stiff operation in cold.
• Durable Construction: The steel rod is chrome-plated to resist corrosion, while the aluminum cylinder and nitrile seals prevent gas leakage and wear. This ensures long-term reliability, even with frequent hood access (e.g., for charging port checks or fluid top-ups).
• Safety Focus: Prevents accidental hood closure during maintenance. The strut’s 650N force rating securely supports the hood’s weight (approx. 18kg), protecting hands and tools from crushing hazards.

Installation & Replacement

• Direct Swap: Replaces the original gas strut without modifications. Simply unclip the old strut’s ball joints (use a flathead screwdriver for leverage) and snap the new one into place—no special tools required.
• Replacement Signs: Replace if the hood sags when open, closes slowly on its own, or makes hissing noises (signs of gas leakage).
• Pro Tip: For balanced support, replace both left and right hood struts simultaneously (even if only one fails) to ensure even lifting force.
