Keep us posted! Cant wait for pics and feedback.

Was wondering if this new set up will open the hood more than the rod, can you let us know this. Txs.

Hey everyone,

Found a different kit with the same concept.

Interesting.

Install videos (scroll down page) are from Russia
Watch out for the added shipping charge...

But thank you for the info!

The install is very straight forward. It need a washer for the L bracket for the shock tower bolt and didn’t use the washers on the ball pivot point on the L bracket! Opens very nice and with ease . Very study.
The L bracket could be better design but it does it’s job. I like that it’s not super easy to close .

I've been raising/looking under hoods well over 50 years, just not as a profession. Any tool or mechanism that makes a job easier is a good thing. Since I raise a hood 1-6 times a day, depending on how many short trips I make in a day, I prefer a easier opening/closing (1 handed) hood. When the vehicle goes in the garage, the hood goes up. That's just me. Gas charged hood struts are handy as a pocket on shirt. My opinion of a shirt without a pocket.......it's worthless. I've converted 2 prop rod vehicles over to gas charged struts and look forward to doing the same to the CR-V. It simply makes the hood opening/closing easier. I'm old enough that I feel I've earned "a little easier". LOL

I have to ask...why are you opening the hood so often? 1-6 times a day?

Also, I won't buy a shirt with out a pocket..even a t-shirt....

Oh, and my first paying car job (during high school) was at a Marathon gas station in 1964. We cleaned the windshield and checked the oil, battery, etc. under the hood on every car that came in. I raised a lot of hoods and those old cars had some big heavy hoods! I am old enough to have earned "easier" also.

I don't blame anyone who wants struts for their hood as long as they work OK.

My order just came in the mail but I did not recieve the right amount of mounting hardware in the package. Contacted the seller and now waiting for reply.

I received mine about a week ago. It took just about a month from the time I ordered them. Very easy to put on and a very inexpensive add on that does upgrade the CRV a tad.

 

[17touringlunarsilver]

Received my kit today. Install took 10 minutes. Great upgrade!

Hood goes up on its own after releasing the latch. Its a bit tough to lower it at first but it is probably due to the shocks being new.

Highly recommended it to everyone.

Is there anybody that recieved extra mounting hardware? Specifically any extras to missing pieces I need in post #50

I'd happily cover shipping costs!

 

[robbyg]

I got mine but it had no extras.
You have a sample of each missing part, they sell those kinds of parts at performance centers or you could just try a local garage and the guy might have some lying around.

Thanks for the suggestion robbyg! I went to my local autozone to look for anything similar but that failed. I plan on going to a specialized auto store tomorrow for a better chance. I know shipping from china will be another month so there is gotta be a quicker way to source the missing parts or readapt some mounting hardware from a related type of kit.

If that does not work you can try the more expensive Amazon parts.
I did not measure mine so I have no idea if these would work, but they do sell them in different sizes if you search Amazon.

These are just samples I found in 10 minutes of searching.

If you have NAPA Auto or Graingers around you they may have what you need.

Your welcome, that is what this forum is for so I am glad to help.
Matching the "U NUT CLIP" to the Balls threading is going to be a bit tedious using Amazon unless someone on Amazon sells it as a complete unit. If NAPA really has it, thats the way to go. Plus you can test it and don't have to order a 4 pack
