🚗 ECCPP Lift Support Front Hood Struts Gas Springs for Lexus RX350/RX450h 2010-2015 - PM3269 Strut Set of 2 Review

Bought these to replace broken bonnet stays on my 2015 Lexus RX 350. It took both sides 90 seconds to remove and replace the old ones. I'm sure I saved over $200 by letting the store do it.

This is exactly what Lexus ordered! Excellent exact replacement fit. Installation took less time than finding a tool, a screwdriver, it requires the rack to be removed! Set up the hood, break off the existing brackets on the old racks, remove, snap the new ones in place with your fingers. Viola, you're done. Easy, fast, great replacement!

Great product so far. Perfect fit for my old RX350 after realizing the hood wouldn't open on its own anymore. The only tool needed was a small flathead screwdriver to remove the old ones, these new ones just popped out! It's obviously very easy to install and great value for money considering a local dealer will probably set you back around $300. cost me less than $30 and 10 minutes of my time.

Easy installs in minutes using a 3/8" flat head screwdriver to remove the clips holding the racks in place. Then you simply take off the old one and put on the new one. For safety reasons, it is helpful to have someone hold the hood while you remove and replace the struts. The dealer wanted to charge me $700 for a replacement. Buying these shelves and installing them myself saved me a ton of money!

1/4 NAPA Aftermarket Cost; 1/10th the value of a genuine Lexus part that lasted 10 years. It's so easy to state that I'm going to risk it with this aftermarket. One thing impressed me, there was already fat in the cup. Definitely recommend. Incidentally, the Lexus dealer wanted $323 for the installation. On my first attempt after watching YouTube, it took me longer to find a broomstick to hold the hood open than it did to install the side panel.

Great value at literally 1/10th the price my local Lexus dealer offered me to replace the originals. Very easy to install by snapping sockets on each end of the top and bottom ball nozzles. This can be done using a simple screwdriver to pry the upright bushings at each end out of the ball they snap into. New ones can be created manually. For five minutes each. There are several videos on YouTube that demonstrate removing the original and reinstalling replacement racks. Highly recommended.

Pros: Inexpensive, good value compared to OEM. Cons: noisy, power is too much as other reviewers have commented. Not like in the photo. The part doesn't even have a part number printed on it. The color of the rod is not chrome. Made cheap. Difficult to install and pull out the clip. On the one hand, pressing in without pulling out the clip was not possible. The clip is very stiff and thin compared to ODM. I would return, but I don't want to deal with the move and the return. During work, but…

Works great! It only took me 5 minutes to install. I should also start off by saying that I just swapped out the backs, which took a lot longer because I was too careful when removing them. Look for installation videos on YouTube, they are very helpful. However. To the review! I first removed the bottom part (closest to the window) with a large flat head screwdriver and then simply removed the top part by pulling it away from the hood. The new one slides in with little effort. In terms of…
