Resurrecting this old thread.
A fellow Pelican suggested installing only one Rennline unit keeping the regular gas shock on the other side. I did so and my hood went out off alignment against the fenders and lowered the height of the hood at the back where it meets the cowling and fender. Guess old well worn hinges will do that.
So I then installed the one on the other side which brought the hood to better alignment save for height in both rear corners.
To add embarrassment in a public parking lot, one side would unlatch but not the other. After what seemed like half an hour, I pulled the upper pin on the more offending driver’s side strut and it retracted no problem. It has a mind of its own when testing it in my hands so will attempt to return both. I’m going back to the gas shocks. These Rennline units make for a very, very heavy frunk hood! My wife would no be able to lift it. More importantly, an unaccustomed person could try to force the hood down without first raising it to unlock the strut resulting in a bowed/bent hood.
