judgee New Member 23 Member For: 14y 1m 23d Posted 10/06/12 10:57 AM Share Posted 10/06/12 10:57 AM My bonnet struts have lost their ability to hold the bonnet up and I need to do some work under there. Anyone got any advice on replacing them. Thinking about getting ford to do it but I'm sure it's pretty easy. Any help?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to push the clips out at either end with a screw driver.I have a set of brand new (never used) FG bonnet struts. I paid $90 for the pair of them - make me an offer.
