Your Nissan's Hood / Trunk Prop Rod is typically found just under your vehicle's hood. This part props up and supports the hefty weight of your hood whenever you need to access the engine compartment.
Most vehicle repairs and maintenance services involve inspecting components and fluids inside the engine compartment first. So a bad Hood / Trunk Prop Rod can make resolving engine problems, radiator issues, and performing common oil changes and inspections unnecessarily difficult.
However, a failing Hood / Trunk Prop Rod is often more than just inconvenient and burdensome. It can also put any individual that's doing work beneath your car's hood at serious risk of injury should your Nissan's hood fall when inspecting your vehicle.
In essence, worn Hood / Trunk Prop Rod can make vehicle repairs difficult and unsafe. If you notice that your Nissan's Hood / Trunk Prop Rod seems to be on the brink of failure or has completely given out, it's best to have it replaced as soon as possible.
Installing the wrong Hood / Trunk Prop Rod can cause serious injury if it isn't able to properly hold up the hood. To guarantee the proper function of your vehicle, get one that's made precisely for your exact vehicle. Shop for approved, OEM car parts at Nissan Parts & Accessories today!
