Solar lift support hood
The FCS STRUTS 86329 is a transparent lift support hood built for automotive accessory use. It replaces worn original equipment on compatible vehicle bonnets and hatches. Vehicle owners and installers seeking a direct-fit replacement part will find it matches the factory mounting points. Buyers who need a powered lift mechanism or integrated lighting should look elsewhere.
Thermals noise and power
The gas-charged strut operates without electrical draw so it adds no load to the vehicle charging system. Silent extension and compression keep cabin noise unchanged during daily operation. Temperature extremes do not affect the sealed damping fluid inside the cylinder. No wiring harness or control module is required for installation.
Build fit and clearance
The transparent finish lets the component blend with any paint colour or interior trim. Mounting hardware uses the original bolt locations so no drilling or bracket fabrication is needed. The strut frees both hands while the bonnet or hatch is held open for maintenance access. Installers should verify the exact length and force rating against the vehicle service manual before fitting.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 86329 lift support hood and which orientation step is most often missed?
Align the mounting brackets with the vehicle hinge points, then press the ball sockets onto the studs until they click; the step most often missed is verifying the rod faces downward so the damping works in the correct direction.
What maintenance or replacement will the 86329 lift support hood need over time?
Inspect the ball-socket joints and piston seals every 12 months; replace the unit if the hood no longer stays open or if oil residue appears on the rod.
What limit appears first on the 86329 lift support hood during repeated opening cycles?
The gas-spring pressure drops first, causing the hood to sag before the mounting hardware shows any wear.
