Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a hood support on this 2004 Ford Crown Victoria. We show you on the passenger side but the driver side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this are new hood supports from 1AAuto.com, a pick, and someone or something to safely support the hood while you're doing this procedure.
To remove the hood support pistons, you just need to pry up these clips and pull the piston of these studs. Using a pick, just pry up that clip, make sure your hood's supported up, and pry out that clip, and just pull that part of the piston off the stud. Now do the same thing at the top. Pry out the pick and pull the piston free.
In the back is the old hood support piston. Up front is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll mount exactly the same. The hood support piston just snaps right back on. Make sure the clips are in place and push it on. Then replace the other side and you're all set.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.
