Yeah I have the Redlines and they work great, but even with messing with them multiple times the brackets still over time twist a little. Overall though not the end of the world and they work awesome. I cant imagine using a prop rod at this point.
Might want to look at the Roush ones. They have 2 points of contact on both ends and are extremely stable. Maybe a few more dollars to purchase but well worth it for the quality. I really like mine, I researched exhaustively and found they have excellent reviews.
FWIW mine haven’t moved at all.
Hard to explain withouth showing you. But the mount that goes onto the fender slips into a hole and then uses a expaning piece while you tighten it down into the hole. It works fine but over time it slowly twists a little in the hole. Ive had mine on for like 3 years now with no issues, just isnt ideal.
I had not ran into the Rousch ones until this thread. I had only heard of the FP & Redlines ones. The comments that are stirring me away from it are the ones talking about messing up the inner fenders.
I’ll try to snap a pic of mine later if I remember. It is metal on metal but I have not had any issues yet.
That would be awesome. Mine is all covered and put to bed for the winter
. I have at least one before I removed my engine cover. Shows the mounts on the drivers side at least.
I used the Ford Performance hood struts on my car, they've been great no issues.
Hmm. Interesting unless Ford changed something between the years. I have the Ford Performance kit and it works perfectly and never had an issue with them. I do notice though, that if you lower the hood just about 1/3 or 1/4 way down from full up position, it will drop closed so they don't seem to be all that strong. I imagine if the struts lose just a little bit of pressure, it won't stay up which is why I still have the hood prop in it's stored location.
