Urq hood struts

[Tom Nas]

I've since received messages telling me it's no problem fitting OE struts 
to cars not so equipped and saw a couple of cars where OE struts would NOT fit.
The bottom line: before you try to fit an OE hood strut to your car which 
was not so equipped from the factory look closely at the construction of 
the inner hood strengthening, especially at the point where the strut 
hanger attaches. If there's a slot to accommodate the strut, you're set. If 
there's not you'll have to go for an aftermarket setup. I've found no logic 
to the presence and absence of such slots, but we're accustomed to that...

HTH, Tom
