Hi Chase @GrimmSpeed, quick question... Are the nuts holding the struts supposed to rust? It looks like those are the only thing that's rusting on my unit and I don't even winter drive this car... Sorry OP for hi-jacking the thread.

The suspense is killing me. How much does the purple hood weigh?

I'm still thinking it's going to be something with the hinges, but we'll see!

@womachris , while we are waiting, I suggest you take and post some pictures of your struts as they are mounted so we can see both the top and bottom mounts. A picture of each side would be good.

Sorry everyone, it will be a little while before i am able to weigh the hood. I don't have the time or ability right now. I'm getting sent out of town for work for a month. Will post as soon as i am able. Thanks for all the questions and thoughts.

You could disconnect the struts and use a fish scale to measure the weight at the front of the hood in up/down positions.
Any of us without struts can do the same very easily. An other question I did not see an answer for is did they all work for a while then fail or not work from the start? |

Have you tried sticking a magnet on the hood to see if it is steel?
