Hood Lift Support for Automotive Use

The FCS STRUTS 86771 is a transparent hood lift support designed as an automotive accessory. It assists in holding the bonnet open during maintenance or inspection tasks. The component is supplied new and listed under the manufacturer part number 86771.

Consistent Force Through Full Extension

The strut delivers steady lift assistance across its entire travel range rather than only at the start of the motion. This behaviour keeps the hood stable while you work underneath it. The transparent finish allows a quick visual check of the rod condition.

Low-Profile Operation With Minimal Draw

The unit operates quietly without an external power source, adding no electrical load to the vehicle. Its sealed construction resists contamination from road debris and engine-bay heat. Installation uses the original mounting points for a straightforward fit.

Questions about this item

Does the 86771 hood lift support generate any heat or noise when the hood is held open all day?

No, the 86771 hood lift support is a passive gas-charged strut with no moving electrical parts, so it produces zero heat and no audible noise while holding the hood open continuously.

What mounting points or brackets must already be on the vehicle for the 86771 hood lift support to install correctly?

The 86771 hood lift support requires the factory hood and body hinge brackets with matching ball-stud or eyelet mounts; no additional hardware is included, so the original mounting points must be present and undamaged.

Will the transparent 86771 hood lift support fit alongside the original prop rod on an older model that still has one?

Yes, the transparent 86771 hood lift support mounts to the same hinge locations as the factory strut, leaving the original prop rod bracket untouched so both can coexist if the prop rod is retained.
