Title: Hood Elevators
Post by: Anthony in Madrid on 24 May 2014, 23:47:34

Hi Guys
Would love some help on this...

Are the hood elevators (that keep it up) compatible on all models 94 -99?

Thanks in advance
Cheers Anthony

Bonnet struts ? As we call them. (?) :-\

Expensive new. Can be difficult to find good used ones.

They are almost £50 from the dealer.  :o

Although experience with cheap struts isn't good, personally.
