So who has a hood that actually stays open lol

[Camryv6xle]

I have had 3 Camrys
1 green 1992 LE
1 white 1994 LE
my current one a 1994 V6 XLE
None of the hoods stayed damn open cause of the ...... damn forgot the word. but yall know what im talkin about anyway, think ima replace them so i dont damage my head any more holdin the hood with it lol

[95WhiteCamry]

yeah, they're called hood struts.

i had a 95 camry sedan and now have a 95 camry coupe, both of which have tempermental struts.

they work, but only when they want to. i've narrowed it down to various humidity and temperature changes (no joke). if i need it opened for a long time with no worries, i just shove in an old broom handle.

[Creeps228]

they are called hood struts i believe get them off ebay...

dont have to worry bout that anymore, yota cheaped out on the gen4...hood support rod FTL

[kendallKICKASS]

lol the support rod on my gen4 brake when i was trying to get ice off of it last winter so i put on the strut thangs from a gen5 camry and they work good

[Venom_5]

my 95's hood struts still work fine .... although they are a little weaker than they used to be from so much use this summer

ill probably replace them next summer - theyre cheap anyways

[youngflashycamr]

yup yup...replaced em when i replaced my hood...my problem is getting the bitch to not wobble when she's closed

heh heh i wasnt gonna mention the chage but yea so much easir then struts...lol

[argh]

I believe only one side works for me. I've been wanting to replace them with NRG carbon fiber hood dampers (print I believe) but I've only seen it for various Hondas and other vehicles. There are none for Camrys.

Mine stays open and works like brand new...lol

My hood has probably been popped open, stayed opened, and closed for more times than anyone else who drives a Gen3 Camry...ROFL

I guess some of you guys are either unlucky and got a bad batch of hood struts, or perhaps hood struts needs regular "exercise" to keep them mint...haha

[Camryamnesty]

90% of gen 3's dont stay open i think i have had one customer come in whos hood stayed open, but ive gotten into the habit of grabbing my vice grips when ever i get one. BOTH of my gen 3's and my friends gen 3 wont stay up

[Tuner571]

Mine still work on my 95, but I can tell there starting to lose pressure.

[DAMON]

they should have them at any auto parts store, that where I got mine for my gen 3 a couple years ago...

My hood practically flies open when you unlatch it. Of course that may be because I just replaced my hood struts.
